Abstract :
We should express our special thanks to Dr. Majdzadeh for his comments on our paper entitled “The Gastro-Esophageal Malignancies in Northern Iran Research Project: Impact on the Health Research and Healthcare Systems in Iran”. We agree with Dr. Majdzadeh that the actual impact of GEMINI on health research and strategy needs time to be achieved. In this paper, we have mainly emphasized on the short term impacts of this study as long term impacts are in fact not possible to be evaluated and measured at the present time.
