A Letter from the Academy of Medical Sciences to the Editor of the Lancet Journal Regarding the False Report of this Publication about the Islamic Republic of Iran
Professor Richard Horton Editor-in-Chief of the Lancet Medical Journal With regard to the report of the Lancet magazine titled "Iranian medics at the forefront of protests", we are very sorry for the inclusion of completely false information about the Islamic Republic of Iran in general and the health services and physicians, particularly in one of the world's leading scientific journals. The most unfortunate issue is that all the completely false information have been quoted from sources who have records of enmity and espionage in our country. If the material mentioned in the that article was supposed to be based on objective facts and scientific methodology, at least there would have been quotes from other sources that are not hostile to our people and nation. The Academy of Medical Sciences of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which consists of scientists in various fields of health, considers the content of the that article to be an insult to the community of health workers in general, and physicians in particular, who provided astounding services to the people during the war imposed by Saddam and his western backers against Iran, and also under the conditions of cruel US and western sanctions, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. We request the journal to correct the misleading content as soon as possible.
