In Iran, a crisis is brewing in the healthcare system as approximately 30,000 general practitioners are leaving the profession due to low doctor’s fees, which are set at only 1.26 million rials (about $20). Mohammad Raiszadeh, head of the Medical Council, emphasizes that stagnating incomes and high inflation, exceeding 40%, have diminished doctors’ purchasing power. The government’s fee structure, announced annually, fails to align with inflation, leading to widespread dissatisfaction among healthcare professionals. This trend threatens the availability of medical services and underscores the urgent need for regulatory reforms to address financial concerns and retain healthcare providers in Iran.
