Health is a multi-core processing and is very important. On the one hand، many factors involved in creating and sustaining it and is the result of the participation of all administrative units of a community and on the other hand، has a significant impact on other sectors of a society. What is important in the health care is equity. The present study aimed to review the fairness and justice of our health services during the third and fourth development programs. This study conducted in 2012 by reviewing the library and internet to collect information about the subject. Then the research findings were organized and arranged. As was stated، although there are no shortcomings in terms of legal content and planning for expanding equity in financial access، there are numerous problems and by ending the third and fourth development programs، there is no statistical analysis and annually documented reports to know to what extent the goals have been achieved. Reviews showed that health sector policies could not significantly improve equity in financial access. However، we have made improvements to some extent but more research is needed to find out the root causes of unsuccessful applications.
