Question
I am currently researching the purchase of medical equipment for a medical facility to be built in Tehran Iran. I am looking to form a on-going professional relationship with a medical supply company to compliment this process. Are you able to state whether you have a company representative in Tehran, Iran and a list of equipment that can be purchased by the public. Is a specific license required. I look forward to your response. Thank you in advance.

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry. We would be able to assist you with your medical supply needs. However, we don't have an company representative in the Tehran, Iran area. Nor, do we have a general list of equipment that needs to be purchase for a newly built facility. There is no professional license needed to purchase 95% of our products available on our website. If you wish to receive a quote, we would need a list of items needed and we can supply a formal quote for you. I hope we were able to answer all your questions and concerns.
