US Plays With Iranians’ Health for Political Gains

Iran’s envoy to the United Nations described the US illegal and inhumane sanctions targeting the country as means of endangering the Iranian nation’s health to achieve political goals.
Majid Takht-Ravanchi made the remarks in an address to the UN General Assembly’s High-Level Meeting on AIDS, IRNA reported. 
He mentioned Iran’s progress in the area of the health situation of the HIV positive patients and those who are subject to the unwelcome phenomenon. The official noted how Iranian scientists had managed to enable prevention of the disease’s transfer from affected mothers to their children, and also contain the disease’s adverse effects.
Despite the notable progress, Iran is still suffering from the sanctions that prevent its access to medical products, technology, and cooperation with the international financial institutions, he said.
