TEHRAN – Iranian Ambassador to United Arab Emirates (UAE) Hamid-Reza Asefi and the UAE Health Minister Humaid Mohammed Obeid Al Qattami discussed developing medical and health cooperation between the two countries on Monday.

Pointing to the successful visit of the Iranian president to UAE in May, Asefi called for strengthened relations between Iran and the UAE, especially in health and medical spheres.
The Iranians’ hospital in Dubai has a significant role in fulfilling the United Arab Emirates’ medical needs, he said.
Asefi also underlined the need for drawing up a plan for exchange of specialized physicians between the two states.
Al Qattami said Iran’s progresses in medical science and pharmaceutics are the best incentives for his country to develop ties with Iran.
Al Qattami added the UAE Health Ministry is ready to devise long-term plans for further medical and health cooperation with Iran, including the use of the Iranian specialists.
