Assessment of the Current Status and Presentation of the Ideal Status by which to Render Healthcare Services Based on Islamic Principles and Values

Assessment and enforcement of the current healthcare status can help attain a common goal namely to benefit those in need and to provide an appropriate infrastructure for rendering optimal Healthcare Services and improving health indices. This study aimed to assess the provision for National Healthcare based on Islamic values as well as to address the first policy of the 14-section health policy plan by which healthcare, education, welfare, research, treatment and rehabilitation are rendered. This healthcare policy plan is based on Islamic values and principles inherent to the Iranian society. In this qualitative study, reference books, texts and national documentation from internet websites were used to evaluate and assess the status of the primary healthcare policy currently implemented in our society. Instigation of the first policy of healthcare is based on the implementation of three main parameters seeking to improve the level of healthcare education, the level of spiritual health in the society, the response to health services providing interventions focusing on Islamic principles and human values, and the use of interdepartmental cooperation in the society. The stakeholders are the Ministry of Health and Medical Education which is mainly responsible for the country's Healthcare affairs as well as other related ministries of the country namely the Ministry of Planning and Development, the Ministry of Industry and Management, the Department of Education and Research , the High Council for settling medical disputes, the Medical Council of Iran, and the Deputy Ministry of Human Rights or the High Court of Justice. Attaining the goals of the aforementioned parameters is based on compilation and implementation of functional programs and execution of interventional parameters via responsible organizations in sync with the cooperation of other healthcare sectors and NGOs of the society.
