English abstract

The establishment of the Deputy for Prevention at Iran Health Insurance organization since two years ago has created a golden opportunity for advancing the six types of preventive services in Iran. According to 7th section of Article 73 of the Seventh Development Plan of the Islamic Republic of Iran (2024-2028), basic health insurance organizations have committed to spend at least five percent of their annual approved budgets on preventive services during the implementation of the program. In preventive medicine and public health, preventive services are categorized into six types. In this commentary, each type of the six preventive measures will be briefly defined, and proposed programs will be presented to the Deputy for Prevention at Iran Health Insurance for promoting the quality of each type of preventive service. To successfully implement these programs, it is essential that the Prevention Department designs a comprehensive insurance support system for these six types of preventive services through the Supreme Council of Health Insurance. This system should be developed in collaboration with all insurance organizations, the Deputy for Health, and the Deputy for Treatment of the Ministry of Health, utilizing systems thinking and systems science with the goal of supporting ongoing programs at comprehensive health service centers and health houses.
