Nasehi, head of the Iranian Health Insurance Organization, said the visit came on an invitation from the Tajik side, following a year of preliminary discussions between the two governments.

He and his delegation, including Iran’s top officials on health‑insurance management, primary care and international affairs, used the visit to share Iran’s model of universal health coverage.

During a four‑day working trip, the Iranian team met Tajik health authorities, including the trade‑finance and pharmaceutical deputies, and toured the largest hospital in Dushanbe. They reviewed Tajikistan’s technical infrastructure for delivering public health services, financing mechanisms, and the organization of pharmaceutical supply.

Nasehi emphasized that Iran’s basic health‑insurance architecture could help Tajikistan build a “stronger, more inclusive” system. Officials discussed drafting a joint memorandum of understanding to formalize cooperation.

The Iranian delegation also engaged with Tajikistan’s pharmaceutical regulators to explore ways to improve drug supply and cost‑coverage under a potential future national health‑insurance scheme.

If signed, the agreement would mark a major step in regional cooperation, offering Tajikistan a blueprint to extend medical coverage, while strengthening Tehran’s role as a health‑policy adviser in Central Asia.
