“…This becomes even more problematic when it comes to high-tech medical equipment which might have dual usage [military and medical]. Barzegar Tahamtan and colleagues also highlighted the curbs on the availability of the medicine and medical equipment after sanction imposition ( 15 ). Consistent with the result of this paper, Gorji showed that even though medicine is not on the list of sanctions, for fear of targeting pharmaceutical companies, the problems afflicting the shipment of medicine, imposing sanctions on the international banks by the US, the transfer of medicine to Iran is overly complicated.…”

“…It has also been suggested in Barzegar Tahamtan and colleagues’ study that the recent sanctions and the remarkable rise in the currency rate have impacted Iran’s foreign trade and, in the health sector, have curbed access to medical equipment ( 15 ).…”

“…Barzegar has also shown that after the limitations on accessing the medical equipment and accessories, repairing the accelerators has become time-consuming and expensive. Disruptions or delays during a patient’s radiation treatment program and a decrease in the therapeutic effects of radiation as well as potential reduction of patients’ survival are other adverse effects ( 15 ).…”

Background: Despite regulations to facilitate the purchase of medical equipment, the process is now faced with severe challenges due to the sanctions. This study focuses on the effects of the international sanctions on the process of procuring capital medical equipment in the Iranian health system. Methods: A qualitative study using a content analysis approach was designed to investigate the effects of the international sanctions on capital medical equipment from January 2018 to June 2019. The data were gathered through 32 face-to-face, semi-structured interviews according to an interview guide. All the interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed accordingly. Thematic analysis with an inductive approach was employed for analyzing the data. Results: After a comprehensive analysis of open codes, two themes and 9 sub-themes were formulated. Based on our findings, the challenges facing the Iranian health sector during international sanctions included: “procurement of capital medical equipment” (with 6 sub-themes: Capital medical equipment suppliers, Monetary and interbank transactions, Suppliers and importers of the capital medical equipment, The process of procurement of capital medical equipment, Healthcare providers and Service receivers) and “repairing and after-sales services of capital medical equipment,” (with 3 sub-themes: Software and spare parts dependent repair, Specialized human resources dependent repairing and after-sales services). Conclusion: Even though the sanction has made Iranian scientists and technicians capable of re-engineering and producing some of the medical equipment and accessories, the study confirms the adverse effects of sanctions on the quality and quantity of medical equipment procurement, hence, delivering adequate and on-time medical services. In many cases, for money transfer issues, international companies were not sure they could have their money back if they sold the facilities to Iran. Fear of losing the US market was the other main consideration for the international companies.

The article discusses market trends and models of legal regulation of consumer behavior in a sanctioned economy. The subject of the study is the models of legal regulation of consumer behavior under sanctions. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that currently the Russian consumer goods market (including premium ones) is going through quite difficult times due to the special military operation in Ukraine, which began in February 2022. The situation is complicated by factors such as the tightening of sanctions and the withdrawal of many Western manufacturers from the Russian market. In such conditions, legal regulation of consumer behavior becomes particularly important. The scientific novelty of this study consists in conducting a comparative analysis of models of legal regulation by responsible consumer behavior in the conditions of a sanctioned economy. The existing regulatory framework of the Russian Federation and the Islamic Republic of Iran is also analyzed. The comparative analysis carried out in the article allowed the authors to draw some conclusions, identify the main models of legal regulation of marketing management of responsible consumer behavior in the conditions of the sanctions economy and formulate a number of practically applicable recommendations. The implementation of the proposed recommendations will eliminate some of the negative effects that occur in the conditions of the sanctions economy and negatively affect the market situation, consumer behavior and the economy as a whole.
