<p>Currently, this sphere is almost not developed in Azerbaijan, most of the drugs and other pharmaceutical products are imported from abroad. A number of narrow-profile enterprises operate in the country, such as Azeriod, but the production of tablets, antibiotics and other drugs in Azerbaijan has not yet been established.</p>

<p>In order to remedy this situation, in September 2016, the creation of the Pirallahin Industrial Park began in the country. At present, the construction of the plant of the Azerbaijani company Diamed C and two pharmaceutical plants with foreign capital, the Azerbaijani-Russian and the Azerbaijani-Iranian plants, are underway in the industrial park. Recently, a similar agreement was signed with the Ukrainian company Indar.</p>
