Speaking at the inauguration of the Medicinal Herbs, Natural Products, and Traditional Medicine Exhibition, Dehqani Firouzabadi said, “There are a national capacity, the expertise, and a massive history of developing the medicinal herb industry, natural products, and traditional medicine in the country.”
