Information about Iran Health system and insurance system.

Iran is a country that provides public healthcare services. Health services are managed by the Iranian Ministry of Health. Access to healthcare is free throughout the country and everyone has the right to benefit from healthcare. Basic healthcare services are financed from the general budget provided by the Iranian government. The government is implementing various policies to increase spending on healthcare and improve healthcare infrastructure. However, in some cases there may be additional fees that must be paid by the patient and his family. The insurance system in Iran is managed by the Iranian Health Insurance Organization (IHIO). Iranian citizens and foreigners legally living in Iran are covered by compulsory health insurance. Iranian citizens must pay insurance premiums, and these premiums are financed by employees, employers and the government. Health insurance in Iran covers healthcare services such as hospital services, doctor's examinations, medications, and some treatments. Insurance coverage may vary depending on insurance premiums and insurance companies. Access to healthcare in Iran is easier for those with insurance coverage. Private health insurance is also available in Iran, but its prevalence is lower. Private health insurance may offer benefits such as additional services and access to private healthcare facilities, but may require higher premiums in some cases. The Iranian healthcare system generally operates effectively and has made significant strides in accessing healthcare. However, some limitations and shortcomings still exist and the government continues to work to improve healthcare infrastructure and service quality.
