“…Iran's ability to import drugs and medical equipment has been constrained by the majority of pharmaceutical companies being wary of getting into trouble due to US sanctions (Bastani et al, 2022). Patients with thalassemia, hemophilia, cancer, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis who need medical care have been severely hampered by sanctions (Asadi-Pooya et al, 2022). According to the 2018 statistics, among those who inject drugs in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, more than 45% of them were from Iran (Mirzaei et al, 2022).…”

Religion, governance, and politics–as well as related topics such as human rights, justice, and so on–have historically caused many of the world’s most significant conflicts, and they continue to do so because these issues are often the most fundamental in the structure of a society. To gain a military advantage, parties to armed conflicts have polluted water, burned crops, cut down forests, poisoned soils, and killed animals over the years. A variety of context factors, particularly socioeconomic conditions, governance, and political factors, interact and play a key role in translating climate change into conflict risks. The present unrest all over the world risks putting more than half of the countries into a crisis of health, economy, and social safety, which is the biggest threat to human civilization. The security and safety of healthcare facilities, workers, and supply lines remain paramount concerns along with access to health services, technology, and innovation.

A variety of context factors, particularly socioeconomic conditions, governance, and political factors, interact and play a key role in translating climate change into conflict risks. The present unrest all over the world risks putting more than half of the countries into a crisis of health, economy, and social safety, which remains the most constant threat to human civilization. The security and safety of health-care facilities, workers, and supply lines remain paramount concerns, along with access to health services, technology, and innovation.

“…Most commonly, researchers have focused on the effects of sanctions on various aspects of healthcare in Iran. For example, Asadi‐Pooya et al (2022) provide a systematic overview of the Iranian sanctions and note that sanctions have severely restricted patients with thalassemia, hemophilia, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis from receiving adequate medical treatment. Baradaran‐Seyed and Majdzadeh (2013) note a decreased access to medication after sanctions, which led to deaths of patients with complex diseases and cancer, and Ghiasi et al (2016) show that after sanctions were imposed on the Iranian Central Bank in 2013, the availability of both imported and locally manufactured asthma medicines decreased by 19% and 42%, respectively, signifying that domestic substitution for medication is frequently not available as its production might require imported components.…”

Despite the intention that sanctions, by design, should not harm civilians' welfare, evidence shows that they can negatively affect health outcomes. In this study, I measure the impact of sanctions on international trade in medical supplies and cross‐country mortality rates. I find that sanctions, particularly those imposed by the United States, decrease the volume of medical exports to targeted countries, potentially leading to worse health outcomes. I also discover that sanctions increase mortality rates in the targeted countries, particularly for women with HIV/AIDS infections. Termination of foreign aid, blockades, and partial embargoes have the most damaging effect on mortality.
