According to IRIB News Agency, Omid Hajati, head of the Health Ministry's Center for Coordination of Economic Affairs, pointing to the ministry's support policies in the field of employment and entrepreneurship, stated: Within the framework of the capacities envisaged in the annual budget laws, the Ministry of Health provides facilities to eligible applicants with the aim of supporting knowledge-based companies active in the production of medicine and medical equipment, as well as launching and developing centers providing treatment services for special diseases, especially in deprived regions of the country.

He added: In this regard, the Health Ministry's Center for Coordination of Economic Affairs has announced its program for attracting and allocating provincial and national credits under Article 95 of the executive provisions of the 1405 Budget Law to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance. This program has been envisaged in two axes: "renovation and equipping of companies producing medicine and medical equipment damaged by the war" and "renovation, reconstruction, completion, equipping and launching of centers providing treatment services damaged by the war."

The head of the Health Ministry's Center for Coordination of Economic Affairs, emphasizing the need for targeted support for the country's production and treatment capacities, stated: Implementing this program can, while helping to revive damaged capacities, pave the way for the continuation and strengthening of medicine and medical equipment production and the return of the covered treatment centers to the cycle of service provision. After the relevant credits are allocated and the directive for paying the facilities is notified to the medical sciences universities of the provincial capitals, the process of introducing and reviewing applicants will begin.

Hajati noted: After the directive is notified, eligible applicants can register their request by visiting the online employment and entrepreneurship system of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance at www.kat.mefa.ir. All stages of reviewing requests, evaluation and following up cases through to the payment of facilities will be carried out exclusively through this same system.
