The Representative of the World Health Organization in Iran visited  Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute and stated that he was impressed by the extent of the activities of this institute and said: Considering the complex emergency conditions of many Eastern Mediterranean countries,  Razi Institute  is very useful for this region.
According to the Public Relations report of Razi Institute, Dr. Seyed Jaafar Hossein, the Representative of the World Health Organization in Iran, who visited the Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute with a delegation, said on the sidelines of the visit: Razi Institute is not only capable of producing its human vaccines, but it also produces animal and poultry vaccines and is a suitable reference for dealing with common diseases between humans and animals.
He stated: Considering the existing facilities and the ability to produce more advanced vaccines in the future at the Razi Institute, this institute can support not only Iranian institutions, but also institutions outside the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Representative of the World Health Organization in Iran stated that this issue is very useful for our region and clarified: Many foreign countries in the Eastern Mediterranean region are facing many complex emergency situations and lack the science and capacity to produce the vaccines they need. They do not have and cannot engage in research and development activities in this field, so Razi Institute can be very useful for the region.
 Dr. Hossein stated that he was influenced by the extent of Razi Institute's activities. The important thing for WHO is to expand cooperation with Razi Institute to bring this group closer to the Ministry of Health and the main capacity of the institute can be seen outside of Iran in the framework of national efforts for the international bodies as  the World Health Organization.
He stated that WHO tries to have a better cooperation with Razi Institute in order to meet some of the needs according to the topics of the bilateral meeting that were clearly stated, and continued: It has also been agreed that more regular meetings will be held between the two parties to bring the Ministry of Health closer to decision-making in the field of Razi Institute's activities.

At the end of the meeting, this delegation visited the Museum and the Department of Poisonous Animals of Razi Institute.
