Medical treatments in Iran/Medication supply
Medication supply from Iran for Iraqi patients
Iran has one of the largest pharmaceutical industries in the region, producing a wide range of high-quality medicines at accessible prices. Hemrah connects Iraqi patients and families with licensed pharmacies and trusted suppliers — so prescriptions are filled quickly after every consultation, and your treatment continues safely once you are home.
Medication supply in Iran — what to expect
Iran manufactures more than 95% of the medicines it uses, including oncology drugs, biologics, insulin, cardiac and transplant medication, and specialty products that are often unavailable or very expensive in Iraq. Hemrah works only with licensed pharmacies and registered suppliers: every medicine is dispensed against a valid prescription with its original packaging, batch number, and Arabic dosage instructions. For patients on long-term treatment we arrange repeat supplies, cold-chain handling for temperature-sensitive drugs, and guidance on carrying medication across the border.

- Access to licensed pharmacies and vetted medical suppliers
- Prescription fulfillment coordinated immediately after specialist visits
- Help sourcing specialty, oncology, and hard-to-find medications
- Clear guidance for safe continuity of treatment in Iraq
- Ongoing support for repeat prescriptions

Why Iraqi patients choose Iran for this treatment
- 1Costs are typically 50–70% lower than in Turkey, Jordan, or Europe — for the same procedure, with equally experienced senior surgeons.
- 2Iran's specialists are among the most experienced in the region: high patient volumes mean your surgeon has performed your procedure thousands of times.
- 3No waiting lists. Thanks to Hemrah's direct relationships, consultations and surgery dates are usually confirmed within days.
- 4A short direct flight from Baghdad, Najaf, Basra, or Erbil, a shared culture and faith, halal food, and Arabic-speaking support at every step.
- 5You recover in a calm, private setting near the hospital, with your family beside you and a companion who handles every practical detail.
Where you will be treated
Hemrah works with accredited private clinics and university hospitals in Tehran chosen for this specialty. Your coordinator will recommend the center that best fits your case, budget, and preferred dates.

Can you supply medication without a prescription?+
No. All medicines are dispensed against a valid prescription from your treating doctor in Iran or Iraq. If you have a diagnosis but no current prescription, we can arrange a consultation with an Iranian specialist first.
How do I carry medication back to Iraq?+
We provide original packaging, the prescription, and a doctor's letter in Arabic and English for customs. For temperature-sensitive medicines we supply insulated packaging and advise on quantities permitted for personal use.
Can you arrange repeat supplies after I return home?+
Yes. For patients on long-term treatment — oncology, transplant, diabetes, cardiac — your coordinator tracks your supply and arranges the next batch with your updated prescription.
