Traditional Medicine

So far, around 300 traditional medicine students have graduated from 17 faculties of traditional medicine in 17 universities of medical sciences across the country, said Health Minister Hassan Qazizadeh Hashemi. Stating that Iranian traditional medicine has been integrated into the national healthcare system, he said 20 traditional medicine centers have been established at the universities and “quality treatment services are offered at the centers,” ISNA reported. Fixing tariffs for 11 traditional medicine services for the first time in 2013 after the Rouhani government took office, is among the most important measures taken by the ministry to encourage use of traditional medicine.
