Iran Press/Iran news: The Director-General of Medical Supplies and Equipment Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Seyyed Hossein Safavi held a live video presser on Saturday reporting on medical supplies.
He said in the past months there were shortages in medical supplies to counter coronavirus while there was also no definite medical, treatment, or curing method for it, and high demands on the medical supplies in the world such as diagnosing KITs, ventilators, and sanitizers soared.
In this regard, Iran's knowledge-based companies and firms have increased their capacities remarkably, for example, Iran's ventilators' production was 10 per day but now it has reached 40 and distributed among the organizations and medical centers, Safavi said.
He added the diagnosing and molecule kits or three-layer N95 masks are sufficiently produced in the country even have got the license to be exported.
The mask production, which is fully mechanized, has reached 2 million a day by the coronavirus outbreak and high demands. They are stockpiled sufficiently to meet not only the country's need but also other countries as well, he highlighted.
N95 masks were produced 15,000 daily but with the sudden outbreak and epidemic it has notably increased, he said.
