please read this so that u get a grasp on what ur talking abt

Science and technology in Iran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LOL! From you link. Maybe you should read what you post.
Iran has a growing biotechnology sector that is one of the most advanced in the developing world.

Congrats you impressed me with bs stuff. There is a difference between developed and developing world. But still thats impressive. Still haven't point out how Cuba is better than U.S. in biotech either.

calm down and take a nap .

In the last months of 2006, Iranian biotechnologists announced that they, as the third manufacturer in the world, have sent CinnoVex (a recombinant type of Interferon b1a) to the market.[82] According to a study by David Morrison and Ali Khademhosseini (Harvard-MIT and Cambridge), stem cell research in Iran is amongst the top 10 in the world.[83] Iran will invest 2.5 billion dollars in the country's stem cell research over the next five years (2008–2013).[84] Iran ranks 2nd in world in transplantation of stem cells.[85]

In 2010, Iran begun mass-producing ocular bio-implants named SAMT.[86] Iran began investing in biotechnological projects in 1992 and this is the tenth facility in Iran. 'Lifepatch' is the fourth bio-implant mass-produced by Iran after bone, heart valve, and tendon bio-implants.[86] 12 countries in the world produce bio-tech drugs, which Iran is one of them.[63]



The legacy of Alhazen, who was highly instrumental in the founding ofmodern optics was continued by Ali Javan, who invented the gas laser. Laser optics via fiber optics is a key technology used in the Internet today.[87]
In 2010 AryoGen Biopharma established the biggest and most modern knowledge-based facility for production of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies in the region. As at 2012, Iran produces 15 types of monoclonal/anti-body drugs. These anti-cancer drugs are now produced by only two to three western companies.

is this regional u dummy ? :

SJR - International Science Ranking

and abt cuba , let me get this straight , although their science output is not so intimidating , they are most probably stronger than US in vaccine production .

this is a known fact in my field of study , ask any doctors here .

No you have to calm down since I shot down you BS fact. I already quote your source and showed that Iran is only top in DEVELOPING WORLD. And all you said about Cuba is most probably stronger than U.S. in vaccine production which means you making shit up.

@scorpionx , some thing more for you..

Exclusive: Is India ready to tackle the deadly Ebola virus?

The government is on maximum alert, notifications are out for various airports, a 24-hour helpline is operational, screening is being performed at all airports, the RML Hospital is set to tackle any eventuality...

And you thought everything is in place. That there was nothing to worry since proper care had been taken and that precautionary measures were working fine. We had the same impression, but just to double check we thought of visiting these places. What we witnessed was shocking beyond words. Our Health Minister may have issued circulars, may be sending regular updates but perhaps there is a lot more that needs to be done on ground zero. Read on and understand what the ground reality is. All the people mentioned below have been captured in our spy camera.

Headlines Today first went to the Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. A simple question was put to the person at the enquiry counter but the reply we received was indicator enough of what was to come.

REPORTER: Where is the help desk for Ebola virus?

ENQUIRY: (shocked and confused) Ebola ? We have no idea... talk to the CMO.

We proceed to the emergency ward where there are many nurses and doctors. Here's what happens.

REPORTER: Where can I get information on Ebola?

DOCTOR: Go to the CMO.

REPORTER: You don't have any idea on Ebola?

DOCTOR: No, only the CMO knows. I don't know anything.

REPORTER: As doctors you should know something?

DOCTOR: Only CMO would know. CMO refers the cases to us.

Before meeting the CMO we put the same question to a hospital staff and then a police constable and then met a police officer at the police chowki but none of them had even heard the word before. At the second emergency room which we were directed to, there were many doctors sitting with the CMO. And not one had any idea of what the virus was all about or whether there was a helpline in place or not.

Here is our conversation with the CMO, which left us speechless.

REPORTER: No doctor in this hospital knows about the Ebola Virus? This is the hospital that has been set by the ministry for cases of the Ebola virus? I need some information?

CMO: You should see the internet.

REPORTER: As a CMO don't you have any information? We have a friend who has come from Singapore. He has back pain and fever and we are worried. What should we do?

CMO: We don't know like that. We need to do other important work here. Go to medical OPD.

REPORTER: Give us the helpline number please?

CMO: We don't have that.

REPORTER: You haven't received any notification here?

CMO: (First hesitates, then looks at the files and searches for the notification. Then he speaks.) Yes it had come. Please wait outside for some time.

Clearly the CMO had no idea whatsoever. We then went to the IGI International Airport. We expected some sign boards, some information desk, a general awareness poster or something. But there was nothing at the departure or arrival terminals. Headlines Today interviewed many people who had landed from international flights to see if they had heard any announcements, or seen any checks or help desks inside the airport. And nobody had anything to say. Where is a passenger supposed to report if he doesn't see any displays anywhere? What is he supposed to do? Is the Airport Authority of India being careless here?

Our next target was All India Institute of Medical Sciences - AIIMS. The picture here was no different. Here's what happened as we met nurses and a team of doctors.

REPORTER: We need some information on the Ebola virus? Where can we get it?

NURSE: We have no information about it. No one has told us anything. You should check the notice board.

REPORTER: You are nurses but have no idea about Ebola. Nor do you have the helpline numbers. How is this possible?

NURSE: Who says we don't know. I know it comes from a foreign country. (Then she directs us to see the doctor at the emergency ward.)

The doctor looks at us with suspicion and then refuses to talk to us.

So much so for the ground work. Dr KK Aggarwal, vice president of IMA, says, "There is nothing to worry as long as the virus doesn't enter the country. So it is an emergency situation for the government, but the onus lies on the airport authorities at the originating point to see that such a patient doesn't enter the plane at all." The reputed doctor however adds that the airport authority should make people aware through announcements or through paper slips of what the virus is all about.

Doctors emphasise that this virus is highly contagious and is categorised as Grade 1. It could well be used as a terror tool against the country.

We need not panic but we need to be careful. As IMD spokesperson Dr Rajinder Saini puts it, "We are a large population and our resources could be limited, so we need to stop this virus from entering at all costs. We have to be alert."
