Mohammad Raeisazadeh, President of the country's Medical System Organization, criticized the extensive sanctions imposed on medicine and medical equipment for special patients at the thirty-fifth annual ophthalmology congress recently held. In his speech, he stated: "Sanctions on dialysis equipment and medicine for special patients are unjustifiable. The medicine for special patients should not be a tool for political pressure."
The Impact of Sanctions on Patients' Lives
Raeisazadeh continued his remarks by pointing out the negative impacts of these sanctions on the daily lives of patients, adding: "Special patients are increasingly struggling with more serious problems day by day. Access to their vital medicines and essential equipment has not only been affected by these sanctions but has also become severely restricted." He also noted that the health and lives of individuals should not be turned into a tool for political pressures.

The Position of Special Patients in the Health System
At the annual ophthalmology congress, Mohammad Raeisazadeh emphasized that special patients need more support and should be given more serious attention in the country's health and treatment policies. He stated that sanctions put these patients in a situation where they not only lose access to primary treatments but also face mental and psychological challenges.
Raeisazadeh advised the relevant officials and organizations to make appropriate and effective decisions to facilitate patients' access to the medicines they need and to prevent political pressures on this vulnerable group. He also called for international cooperation to address the medicinal and equipment issues of special patients.
In conclusion, Raeisazadeh urged the medical community and all organizations to collaborate in support of special patients and to work towards improving their conditions, ensuring that these patients are not affected by sanctions. He emphasized that this issue should be prioritized as a humanitarian and ethical matter.
