Iran's health system is in a critical condition where accumulated debts and lack of financial resources have raised alarm bells. The increase in the prices of medicines and medical equipment due to unjust sanctions and also the problems arising from enemy aggressive attacks have put medical centers under severe pressure.
Impact of Sanctions on Public Health
With rising treatment and equipment costs, medical centers are no longer able to continue their activities. On the other hand, basic health insurance companies have also been forced to accumulate debts to pharmacies due to the untimely allocation of financial resources. This situation means an inability to provide medicines and medical equipment for patients, which severely affects public health.
Pressure on Pharmacies and Medical Centers
The debts of the health system have risen to such an extent that pharmacies are also facing numerous problems. The non-payment of claims by insurance companies has put additional pressure on these centers, and many pharmacies are on the verge of bankruptcy. This crisis occurs at a time when patients are in urgent need of medicines and medical services, raising the question of what measures officials have to address this issue.
Given these circumstances, it is essential for health system officials and insurance companies to urgently think of a solution to resolve this crisis, as the continuation of this situation could have irreparable consequences for the health of the community.
