What do you imagine when it comes to medical technology? Most likely, these are highly functional laboratories and operating rooms, modern medical approaches, equipment, as if from science fiction films, and, of course, experienced doctors.
But is this the picture that comes to mind when we talk about medicine in Iran? Unfortunately, no. But many people do not even think about the achievements of this country in the field of medicine.
Let's get to know them together. Some of them will definitely pleasantly surprise you.
Achievements on the world stage
According to the latest report by the Institute for Citation and Monitoring of Science and Technology of the Islamic World, the Islamic Republic of Iran ranks 16th in the world in terms of the number of scientific publications in the Scopus database and 17th in the Web of Science. These are impressive positions, aren't they?
This makes Iran one of the leading countries in the field of scientific publications. And this is on the condition that the first places are shared by such giants as the USA and China. Do you understand what this means?
This means that Iran is not just an ordinary member of the medical community; it is a major player and actively contributes to world science.
This also implies the fact that Iranian specialists are developing new treatment methods and conducting research that is recognized by medical luminaries. Accordingly, the presence of a large number of highly cited publications and active participation in international research are strong arguments in favor of trust in the healthcare system.
The number of scientific publications in the field of medicine and healthcare in Iran is constantly growing. With 158,678 documents in the field of medicine, this category ranks second in the number of scientific publications in the country. They pay the most attention to clinical medicine, basic medicine and health sciences.
The main secret of the successful and rapid growth of Iranian medicine lies in the tenacity of doctors and scientists who are not afraid to experiment and look for new ways and methods of treatment in their research. This makes it possible to introduce both new technologies and methods.
In 2021 and 2022, there were 287,452 highly cited scientists in Iran. This is a clear evidence of active work in the field of medicine, as well as the fact that Iranian medicine is highly regarded in the international arena. After all, if research is cited, it means it is valuable.
Iranian medicine is not only a force, but also a proven and reliable path to quality medical care. It has a combination of a rich scientific base and a high level of professional qualifications. Consequently, it becomes attractive not only for the local population, but also for foreigners.
