Iranian President Hassan Rouhani حسن روحاني issued an order to boost the production of homegrown test kits for the diagnosis of the novel Coronavirus in order to pave the way for their export.
In a telephone conversation on Friday, Rouhani ordered Vice President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari to employ all domestic capacities and offer full support to scientific and research centers to increase the production of Coronavirus diagnostic test kits.
The president underlined that the homegrown production should satisfy the domestic demands and allow for the export of the test kits to the countries needing them.
Last month, Rouhani highlighted Iran’s success in dealing with the novel Coronavirus outbreak, saying the Islamic Republic has begun to export the health supplies necessary for the fight against COVID-19 after meeting the domestic demand.
