UN Called Into Action as US Sanctions Disrupt Medical Supplies in Iran

Two high-ranking members of the Islamic Republic of Iran Medical Council (IRIMC) have formally called on the United Nations to help eliminate US restrictions against the supply of medicines and medical services to Iran.
IRIMC Director General Iraj Fazel and the head of the organization's high council, Mohammad Reza Zafarqandi, signed a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
"As senior directors of IRIMC, we inform you of the detrimental effects of the illegal and unilateral economic sanctions of the United States of America, reimposed after the country withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on May 8, 2018, on Iran's health sector," the missive reads, as published on the official IRIMC website.
