The Head of the Medical Equipment Committee of the Iranian Parliament’s Industry Commission announced that the Iran Health Exhibition serves as the nation’s premier event for the health sector, promoting innovation and competitiveness in domestically produced medical equipment.

May 31, 2025 – According to the Head of the Medical Equipment Committee of the Iranian Parliament’s Industry Commission, the Iran Health Exhibition is a vital platform for introducing advanced, high-quality medical equipment to professionals and encouraging innovation within the industry.
The event strengthens competition and raises standards for domestic products, offering opportunities for producers, especially knowledge-based companies, to market their innovations.
The official emphasized the importance of inviting more international companies to further improve the exhibition’s quality and foster the exchange of expertise through webinars and collaborative sessions.
He noted that nearly 95% of consumable medical equipment in Iranian healthcare centers is manufactured domestically, while only 15% to 19% of capital medical equipment is produced locally; advanced devices like MRI and CT scanners are still imported.
However, knowledge-based companies have made significant progress in producing radiotherapy, ultrasound, and respiratory devices, with exports to several countries.
Over the past 15 years, Iran’s medical equipment industry has recorded an 80% growth, reflecting the sector’s expanding capabilities and the vital role of platforms such as the Iran Health Exhibition in supporting innovation and synergy among manufacturers.
