Numerous and varied researches are being conducted in different fields in this regard. Iran's rank in the production of science in the field of traditional medicine and medicinal plants was fifth in the world last year, and this year it ranks fourth after India, China, and the United States. This upward trend has occurred in the country over the past ten years.

According to the news base of Physicians and Law (Palna), Dr. Nafiseh Hosseini Yekta stated on October 14, 2021, in a video conference with the unveiling ceremony of knowledge-based herbal products effective in treating COVID-19 in Kerman: "With effort in the right research and scientific direction, it is possible to achieve effective medicines in Traditional Persian Medicine."

The Director General of the Persian Medicine and Complementary Medicine Office of the Ministry of Health said: "The use of Traditional Persian Medicine is the approach considered by the Ministry of Health, and this approach is on the agenda at the country's schools of traditional medicine, including the capable faculty in Kerman. Numerous and varied researches are being conducted in different fields in this regard. Iran's rank in the production of science in the field of traditional medicine and medicinal plants was fifth in the world last year, and this year it ranks fourth after India, China, and the United States. This upward trend has occurred in the country over the past ten years."

According to ISNA, she added at the end: "One of the emphasized axes, in addition to the knowledge-based economy, is a special look at local capabilities. In all universities, traditional medicine groups can serve as a leapfrogging gateway to accelerate the university's entry into third and fourth generation universities. In traditional medicine, we may hear various marginal issues. The more positive discussions and research-based matters following the scientific path—such as these medicines being unveiled today—are highlighted, the less concerning and marginalizing issues for the health system will arise."
