Healthcare System in Iran

The value of the healthcare sector in Iran is estimated to be US$24 billion in 2002 and grown further in 2010. This growth is mainly due to the increased demand on health services by the populous individuals residing in the country.

The health constitution in Iran mandates that everyone receives basic healthcare which is carried out by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME). However, most of the individuals who can afford to do so utilize the private system that offers wider availability and better quality care.

Iran has been very successful in training and educating fine doctors which can be seen across the world. The education system has been completely transformed to suffice the physician shortage that the country was facing.  

 

Quality of Health Services in Iran

The quality of health services in Iran demonstrates a great disparity between the public and private sector. The public sector still lacks in terms of providing a high level of quality care at a nominal cost. However, the growing private sector provides excellent care to those Iranians and foreign patients that can able to afford. The foreign patients will still pay less than what they are paying in their home countries.

The advancement of the Iranian physicians and medical research in Iran shows the country’s strong capability of being a key medical tourism contender within the Middle Eastern region. If Iran is able to control the level of political instability in the country, then it could be the birth of an extremely successful medical tourism sector in Iran.
