TEHRAN, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Minister of Health Saeed Namaki said that Iran faces no serious shortage of pharmaceuticals despite U.S. sanctions, Tasnim news agency reported on Tuesday.

Namaki said "Iran has not faced any severe shortage of medicines although the enemies have waged an economic war against the country."
