From 2009 to today, Ghatre has grown step by step and expanded its services
Pharmacy students' experience of patients unable to afford their medications was what brought us together at Ghatre. The Ghatre student association began in autumn 2009, founded by students of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Tehran University of Medical Sciences to provide medications for patients in need. After a while, the charity's activities became more serious, and Ghatre decided to expand its activities beyond the university. To do so, we needed a license to operate outside the University of Tehran.
