Insurance coverage very high (about 95%), but via fragmented insurance
- rganizations
Wide health benefit package includes almost all services Insufficient and unstable financial resources (e.g. 34 of 40 million insured by
IRAN health insurance organization dependent on government budget)
Health system fragmented and unregulated Payment system dominantly FFS Family physician not fully implemented, no referral system HIS not efficient, human resources not enough Dual practice high High induced demand and inappropriate use of services High Inefficiency
Significant variations and diversities Transitional health, health system, economy, politics, … Significant uncertainties Instability, unrests, wars, conflicts, sanctions Natural disasters high Oil dependent economy (not sustainable) Limited resources, capacity, expertise, … HTA formal national structure in 2 EMR countries
