This can be achieved through fulfilling our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and exchange of knowledge and expertise with reputable organizations such as UNICEF.” Dr. Aalipour added, "Panter is excited to join UNICEF in helping children in Iran to live their dreams with smiles lighting up their faces."

UNICEF has been supporting Government Ministries and partners in their work for Iran’s children since the early 1950s, initially assisting in the vaccination of children against tuberculosis and equipping the country's first pasteurized milk factory. Later UNICEF’s focus shifted to supporting children's health programmes in Iran, such as promoting breastfeeding, vaccination and preventing diarrhea. The current country programme between the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and UNICEF, from 2023 to 2027, is focused on the following areas: Health and Nutrition, Education and Adolescent Empowerment, Child Protection, Social Policy, Emergency, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene as well as the climate change.
