Dr. Shahab Al-din Sadr, director of Iranian Medical Council (IMC), gives an update on the number of medical human resources (all are a member of the IMC)in Iran as follows:
70,000 General Practitioners(completed 7-year medical school)
25,000 Medical Specialists and Subspecialists
20,000 Dentists (General and specialist)
13,000 pharmacists
3500 Laboratory Medicine Specialists (either 7-8 year and 10-11 year educational programs)
40,000 Midwifes (all has a formal 4-year university education).
Total: 170,000
My comment: This total does not include nurses and theyare I guess all members of the IMC and should be counted in.

I created this blog to share with you my concerns about healthcare system in Iran as an example of a developing country. I would like you to feedback on the major challenges of the healthcare system in Iran. Healthcare disparity, quality, and status of healthcare are among subjects I am very interested to write about. I hope this blog makes researchers and policymakers in the field more familiar with the healthcare system of this country.
