Dr. Efatossadat Mirmoeini, Deputy of Food and Drug Affairs at Hamedan University of Medical Sciences, stated that no official licenses have been issued for online drug sales in Iran — and as a result, pharmacies in Hamedan Province are not permitted to offer such services.
“Although there is a growing need for online pharmaceutical services across the country, proper infrastructure and full oversight by the Ministry of Health are essential prerequisites,” she explained.
Until formal regulations and guidelines are officially issued, pharmacies are not allowed to collaborate with digital platforms. Once approved, Hamedan University of Medical Sciences will implement the policy according to national directives.
At present, a pilot version of the program is being tested in select provinces for special patient groups, such as children with metabolic disorders, but it has not yet been rolled out nationwide.
