According to RCO News Agency, Dr. Shahin Akhundzadeh said at a news conference on the 30th Razi Medical Sciences Festival at the Ministry of Health’s headquarters: “5 % of the country’s science is produced in the medical science sector, while 5 % of the country’s faculty in the Ministry of Health. We are employed and we have one fifth of the country’s students. Most of the faculty is also clinical and is tasked with providing health care. That is, about 2 to 5 percent of their task is clinical services.
He added: “Of course, we also have education and research. But with these, the output of our science is high compared to other parts. Knowledge -based companies are also the largest turnover of medicine and medical equipment. Also in the technology sector of the country, the health sector has a major contribution and is one of Iran’s strategic exports to neighboring countries.
The Deputy Minister of Research and Technology of the Ministry of Health said the other index in the Ministry of Health described the existence of one percent of the world’s top researchers and said: “In the Ministry of Science, we have a top 1 percent researchers and scientists.” Of course, this is the reason for this capable manpower that has promoted the output of science in the medical and health sector, as the country’s best students enter the medical field.
Akhundzadeh continued: The Razi Festival is one of the most important annual missions of the Ministry of Health. In the thirty -first period we started the preparations for the festival on May 1, but fortunately all the work was done.
He said that we need to plan for scientific, research and technology development. .
Akhundzadeh cited funds as the second factor in scientific development, adding that the countries around their GDP have allocated one percent of their GDPs, which in Iran is 0.5 to 1.5 % of GDP; So competing with them is getting harder.
The Deputy Minister of Research and Technology of the Ministry of Health called the third factor in the development of science, which is the winner of Iran, and said: “The fourth factor in international interactions that affects part of the work.”
He added: Financial sanctions are effective in scientific sanctions. Of course, the part that relates to us is the support of the researchers to participate in the global communities we support
Akhundzadeh said that the fifth factor is having a dynamic private industry. The drug is discovered in the research and development sector of private companies, not the public sector. There are countries that spend $ 5 billion to discover a cell, but we lack these funds.
He added: “Our important factor is stability in universities, and we should do so with festivals like Razi.”
The presence of the President at the Razi Festival
The Deputy Minister of Research and Technology of the Ministry of Health stated that after five years the president will be present at the Razi Festival again to honor the researchers: If we respect the researchers a little, we can again earn high scientific ranks. It is essential to breathe in a vitality spirit in the country’s research community.
Deputy Minister of Research and Technology of the Ministry of Health noted: The thirty -year festival is the quality of the Razi Festival. Last year and this year we have 4 selected because we selected researchers at the 30th Festival based on their national balance.
Akhundzadeh continued: At academic festivals such as Ibn Sina and Aboureihan, there is enough attention to non -national factors. But the one who is chosen in the Razi must be a national figure and the choice of the electors must have at least five years of circulation, so at the 30th Razi Festival, people who have not been selected for the past five years.
Pointing out that the researcher has been selected to observe the ethics of the research, he said: “The electors were not among the Ministry of Health’s managers. The rial value of the awards has increased but we have spent less credit for this period, because the quality is upgraded. We gave.
We are paying accumulated debt access to international resources
Responding to a question about the problems of the researchers, he noted: In recent years, access to international electronic resources for researchers in the Ministry of Health has been cut off. Part of the cause of this situation is the accumulated debt of the past we are paying.
The Deputy Minister of Research and Technology of the Ministry of Health on the internationalization of the Razi Festival also said: “We must be realistic with the award of the $ 5 million award, which of course, of which 5 million last year, cannot be held in the international festival.”
Economic issues and sanctions took our scientific rankings
Dr. Akhundzadeh said that we were ranked first in the region four years ago and at one point in terms of article 2 and in the world in terms of articles, unfortunately, economic issues and sanctions and the growth of competing countries and the growth Their huge investment in the research took our rankings. In the 5th year in the world, we rank third in the Islamic world after Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and we hope to reach the world of science in the 5th year.
He added: “Our researchers do not participate in world conferences because of lack of financial support, which is part of the rankings, and the way to compensate for the scientific achievements of the world conferences held in Iran.”
The Deputy Minister of Research and Technology of the Ministry of Health, referring to some of the grants to the researchers, said: “For example, we have to spend 5 % for the youth of the population, which can be the output of that article, technology or therapeutic protocol and to promote Iran’s rank. Slow.
