Indonesia to Produce Iran-Made HPV, Flu Vaccines
Mostafa Qaneyee, an official with the Iranian vice-presidency for science, technology, and knowledge-based economy said that Biofarma, an Indonesian vaccine manufacturer, produces different vaccines at government expense.
However, they have not developed these two vaccines. The vaccines will be made there, and we would get a share of the sales market, he added.
Given Indonesia’s population of around 300 million, it will be a huge benefit to Iran if these two vaccines are added to Indonesia’s immunization program, Qaneyee said.
The official added that Iran could also transfer plasma refining technology to Indonesia, as there are two large companies in plasma refining in the country.
Providing medical services to patients with cardiovascular diseases in Jakarta takes about two to three months. “While we have the technology to provide these services in Iran, we do not prefer selling a product, but selling a service, that is, supplying the devices to hospitals in Indonesia and offering services to them at the same rate.”
Earlier reports in March also said that the third and fourth models of the Iran-made remote robotic surgery system, named Sina, were installed at several medical centers in the cities of Medan and Makassar in Indonesia for training courses.
Indonesian surgeons evaluated the performance of these systems and the level of quality and accuracy of these products surprised them.
In addition to the 112 previous surgeons who were trained in the cities of Bandung and Jogjakarta for surgery with Sina surgeon robot, 100 new surgeons have also joined the training courses to operate surgery with Sina in the cities of Medan and Makassar.
Scientists in Iran have made great progress in designing and making different robots.
Iranian experts in June 2021 conducted the first remote surgery on a dog by using the fully home-made robot, Sina, making Iran the second country in the world after the US with the capability to develop surgical robots.
The robot has a surgical console that the surgeon can control and guide the surgery remotely by standing behind it and using two robotic arms.
Also a monitor has been placed next to the console that shows the image of surgery for surgeon clearly. The surgeon uses this system to control the surgery with a pedal and two robotic arms.
