Welcome to SIMA
The Swedish Iranian Medical Association (SIMA) is an non-profit, apolitical, non-religious professional medical society dedicated to promoting education, health, communication and research in medical sciences. SIMA was founded in 1999 by and for Iranians who work with medicine, biomedicine, paramedicine or dentistry in Sweden.
