Health in the news: Total Health Expenditure as a percent of GDP in Iran is less than that of comparable countries

Dr. Amini , member of the Health and Treatment Commission of the Parliament says that in recent years while gross domestic product (GDP) has been gone up, the health expenditure percent of GDP has not been proportionately increased. In Iran, this ratio is approximately 5.6% while 7%-8% is that of comparable countries . Amini added that now the budget deficit of the Ministry of Health is 350 billion Tomans (approximately 380 million dollars) and university hospitals are heavily indebted to pharmaceutical companies for unpaid purchase of medicines. As a result, patients have to pay out of their pocket for prescription medicines in many occasions.
