subregional workshop for G5 countries (Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, plus the World Health Organization) on health cooperation started in Tehran on Tuesday.

Some health issues such as coronavirus are global problems, but each region of the world has its own problems in the health sector, which must be solved with the cooperation of neighbors, Health Minister Bahram Einollahi said at the opening ceremony of the meeting.

In today's world, every country must monitor the health of other countries, especially its neighborhood, to ensure its health and to prevent the spread of diseases, he stated.
