Global firms ship cancer drugs to Iraq before credit access
The Iraqi Ministry of Health announced the arrival of shipments of cancer drugs and essential treatments from international pharmaceutical companies, aimed at supporting the health sector and reintroducing innovative companies to the Iraqi market. This step followed efforts to overcome contractual obstacles, as the ministry held meetings with companies such as Pfizer and obtained exceptions from some contracting procedures from the Council of Ministers. Additionally, some companies initiated shipments of medicines before financial approvals were secured. There is a focus on prioritizing quality and price in future contracts to ensure the availability of high-quality medications for citizens. A meeting is expected to be held in Baghdad, involving regional managers of these companies and the Prime Minister, to discuss new contracts, along with a review of previous agreements to ensure quality and compliance with price standards.
