Pezeshkian made the remarks while chairing a specialized meeting Monday on reviewing the country's research and technological capacity, and evaluating the vaccine ecosystem
During the meeting, he announced the construction of a “Vaccine Ecosystem Technology Tower,” describing it as the beginning of a new chapter in developing the knowledge-based health system.
“This tower will enable Iran to actively enter the frontiers of knowledge and position itself at the cutting edge of science in the vaccine sector," said Pezeshkian, adding that “Iran will not miss out on benefiting from any global achievements in this field.”
Discussions focused on creating a coherent and integrated network of existing vaccine production institutions, including the Razi Research and Production Institute, the Pasteur Institute of Iran, and private knowledge-based companies
Key objectives of the meeting included attracting domestic elites, facilitating the return of Iranian experts residing abroad, enhancing the country's research and technological capacity, and establishing Iran as a regional hub for vaccine production and biomedical research.
The president emphasized the need to provide the necessary prerequisites and mechanisms to launch the executive operations of this national project, given its strategic and scientific importance.
