| description |
The Government of the Islamic Republic
of Iran has stated its commitment to improving the health
and nutritional status of the population as articulated in
the Interim Country Assistance Strategy (CAS), which lists
as priorities addressing nutritional deficiencies, expanding
coverage of basic health services, and improving efficiency
of the health system and the quality of service at all
levels. This health sector review is consistent with this
in that it provides the platform and evidence base for such
reform. It is also in-line with part three of the current
Fourth Five-Year Plan, which includes health development,
human security and social justice priority, the reduction of
illness from malnutrition, increasing public health service
coverage, and increasing access to quality health services
while reducing the financial burden on the families. The
objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive review
and diagnostic of the performance of the health sector in
the Islamic Republic of Iran. The government is quite
advanced in the type of analysis it already undertakes on
various aspects of the sector (e.g., burden of diseases,
national health accounts, and utilization analysis).
However, a consolidation of this information and analysis
that encompasses several major elements of the health sector
has not been done recently. The health sector review,
through a synthesis of available data and other information
on the health sector attempts to: (i) assess the strengths,
challenges, and opportunities facing the current health
system; (ii) offer analytic assessments of the health
policies and plans; and (iii) provide a framework for
developing strategic options as well as short- and
medium-term recommendations and action plans to achieve the
goals identified in the country's Fourth Five-Year
Plan. The review is also intended to provide a platform for
discussions on possible areas of collaboration between the
Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the World
Bank on the health sector. |
