The Central Pharmacy—operating 24 hours a day—and the Tehranpars Pharmacy, both affiliated with the Medical Procurement Organization of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, collectively serve more than 1,500 patients daily. These facilities operate with full capacity to ensure the timely provision, distribution, and delivery of pharmaceutical products and medical supplies. They play a vital role in supporting patients with specialized needs, including those undergoing organ transplants, cancer treatment, and individuals diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and other complex conditions requiring advanced medications.
According to the Public Relations and
International Affairs Unit of the Medical Procurement Organization, in
Mehr 1404 (September–October 2025), the number of prescriptions processed at
the Central and Tehranpars pharmacies increased by 8% compared to Shahrivar
(August–September). These pharmacies have consistently supplied specialized
medications required by patients undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplants,
cancer treatment, and other rare or chronic conditions.
During the same period, sales of medical
equipment and supplies rose by 40%. Items distributed included biopsy needles,
chemotherapy ports, infusion pumps, blood glucose monitors, antibacterial
dressings, ostomy products, specialized wound and burn care equipment, and
rehabilitation aids such as braces, walkers, and foldable chairs.
It is noteworthy that the organization’s
pharmacies are equipped with a dedicated telephone support system (41651),
operational daily from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM, providing patients and accompanying
individuals with up-to-date pharmaceutical information. This system is
specifically designed to inform users about the availability of medications
across the organization’s pharmacy network. Additionally, patient assistance
services are active on-site, and insurance representatives stationed at the
pharmacies facilitate prescription approvals and guide patients through the
process.
In conclusion, the Medical Procurement
Organization remains committed to delivering high-quality pharmaceutical and
medical services, aiming to contribute meaningfully to the enhancement of
public health. This commitment serves as the cornerstone of the organization’s
strategic planning and operational initiatives in its ongoing mission to serve
the people of Iran.
