The Right Honorable Dilma Rousseff
President of Brazil
1-FROM Tabriz university in Iran I received my Pharm. D. degree at the beginning of 1985. I have spent all my professional life in service of the pharmaceutical industries of Iran. From the very first weeks I faced a lot of huge scientific and practical mistakes in all aspect of production of medicinals. Unfortunately leaving a company and joining another only changed my mistrust in inadequacy of theoretical and practical arrangements into an absolute faith in existence of a nationwide disaster in these industries.
My DISASTROUS and incredible findings in every company put them in danger of a devastating earthquake with unpredictable consequences not only for themselves but for MoH who carried all and also the final responsibility of everything industries did & DO. So I always forced to move (actually I was dismissed) to another company and repeating the same story.
2-ABOUT fifteen years ago I wrote a long and critical article on this subject but no one dared to publish it for having serious consequences on Government’s legitimacy and would put both the publisher and writer in danger of harsh reactions of the regime.
3-THE followings are only a short list of those serious mistakes:
§- Usage delicate and unstable materials like vitamins five to seven years after the end of their Expiration Dates.
§- Huge mistakes in laboratory control methods of Raw Materials and finished products so that mistakes up to fifty percent, and usually more, could not be detected or could be introduced.
§- Mixing of raw well water with syrups for too many years because of a design defect in the filling machine.
§- correction of a totally wrong manufacturing procedure reduced the manufacturing time from ten hours in tow days to three hours in one day. A further correction of its formulation reduced its excipients about 1300 kg per 3000 l: this means their ignorance put the metabolic system of children under a severe pressure for absolutely no benefit or necessity. Its bitter taste and disgusting smell vanished for ever.
§- Defect in installation of a washing machine led to remaining about two milliliters of an extremely concentrated Chlorine water, one of the most dangerous Oxidizing agents, in the washed bottles used for bottling the above mentioned pediatric antibiotic suspension.
§- Usage an totally Inactive microbial preservative in an antacid suspension for too many years for the complete ignorance of the most basic principles of chemistry and biology.
§- For a while a company introduced a preparation without any Active component (drug molecules) into market for Economical reasons.
§- Active ingredient of an antacid suspension and tablets were respectively 25% and 16% less than the label amounts in at least two company.
§- In a comprehensive report, in more than one hundred pages, I proved that nearly what I knew till then in that company were wrong to the strongest and widest meaning of the word of wrong.
§- And there are too many other cases which I could not mention them for ,at least, the matter of space.
§- correction of filtering technique of a sugar syrup prevented the entrance of considerable amount of any kinds of particles into a pediatric antibiotic suspension.
§- Some people died in a hospital in Tehran under the usage of an imported general anesthetic for the wrong quality control process in the Central QC Laboratory of MoH.
§- Some imported blood preparations by a governmental department infected too many by HIV because of the poor QC methods employed by MoH.
§- A manufacturer sent seven files to MoH to gain production licenses. My comprehensive analysis proved that they were ABSOLUTELY, in the strongest meaning of the word, wrong and no one can find even a scientific or literal sentences in ALL of them. Many correspondences from MoH proved and yet proves that none of those huge and disastrous mistakes were detected by MoH officials or many pharmacist employees oh that company. Some of those drugs were Cardiac and anti-Asthmatic.
§- All bottles of a Pediatric dried suspension of Doxycycline released to market in spite of being degraded because of the high humidity of filling department.
§- Contaminated injectables (Oxytertracycline) with DUST of Carbon during the sealing step, released to market by the previous case company.
§- A hyper-osmotic local anesthetic which was prepared by a governmental agent paralyzed some, especially from both legs following its injection into the spinal cord.
§- Washings and rain water entered the main water reservoir of a company for an unknown period of time in spite of repeated inspections of MoH agents and too many pseudo-pharmacist employees during in all those long years.
§- GMP is an anti-productive concept, for its exercising would stop everything. Instead manufacturers strictly obey BMP (Bad Manufacturing Process). Violation of any GMP rules, according to current regulations would lead a preparation to be recognized as rejected and in the light of this principles we are only able to produce rejected preparations.
4- On 29,09,2006 I entered Paris for an international exhibition on pharmaceutical materials. In hope of finding a solution for that crisis I stayed there but failed to gain any support to divulge this absolute case of Human Rights violation. In France I received tow negatives and after about twenty seven months decided to go back to Iran. In Vienna airport and after a short stop experienced an intolerable anxiety and stress and lost my flight. In hope of finding a solution I applied in Austria but as in France I received tow negatives. By the rule of “No one can believe what he does not understand”, I asked in both countries my claims and documents be evaluated by experts but they disregarded this legal request.
5-During all of my professional life, somehow I was the best between my colleagues. All information and documents by help of them I discovered all those huge mistakes were also available to them but no one detected and noticed any mistakes. Successful and important improvements in nearly all aspect of pharmaceutical industry also include in my professional background. Opportunities for exercising habit of critical thinking and the exceptional capacity in application of creativity tied me strongly to my job in spite of depriving from all legitimate economical and social benefits. My collection of scientific books is more than three thousand volumes in different subjects including natural and human sciences. My studies in many aspect of English language are noticeable and are based on more than two hundred books on subjects like usual textbooks to linguistics and psychology of learning and teaching foreign languages. About sixty monolingual dictionaries in
different types and size and more than fifteen volumes on grammar at different levels are some subsets of my personal library. In Paris I studied three books on grammar two times and in more than three thousand pages. This language background and long and active experience in pharmaceutical industries make settlement a simple and short task at both social and professional levels. Considerable studies in Management, Organization, Organizational behavior, Ergonomic, Sociology, Social psychology, Psychology, Cognitive psychology, Educational and learning psychology, Philosophy and Philosophy of education provided me a nearly reliable mental awareness and critical mind.
I like to bring this letter to its end by some quotations from Mill whose wisdom and humanity glazes eyes of the wise and no one ignores him without a great loss of knowledge and discoveries on nature of Human and Power as a necessary and unavoidable Evil of his life in societies.
Usually there are persons
who form an exception
to the apparent unanimity of the world on any subject…
and truth would lose something
by their silence
(page111, On Liberty, Penguin Classics).
The mere refusal to bend the knee
to the customs and power
is itself a service
(page 130, On Liberty).
Whatever precautions
might be taken against
the oppressive exercise of power
(page?, On Liberty)
E P I L O G U E
Regarding current legal system and scientific status of pharmaceutical industries in the modern world, I strongly believe that divulging the crisis in the pharmaceutical industries of IRAN would discover a new and incredible dimension of dark and brutal nature of the Islamic government and would have its vital and devastating consequences in practical criticism of theological and ideological types of governments and, at the same time will be the biggest defense in favor of Iranians against the tyrannical application power of Islamic regime.
And at the personal level I hope your and your Country’s support provide me the opportunity of life in an Open and Democratic society after a long struggle with a wild Authority in the most hidden and darkest border of fight.
