Iran - Medical Tourism in Iran

The concept of medical tourism in Iran is a  new idea and has not been fully implemented yet.

To take advantage of this new concept to bring in foreign patients, Iran has agreed to set up a health tourism office. The health tourism office, in conjunction with the medical universities could potentially boost Iran in the medical tourism industry.

Previously, many Iranians used to travel abroad to seek health services, as did the physicians in the country who went abroad to practice. In recent times, due to the improvements within the health sector, most of the Iranians choose to seek care within their country and so had foreigners. The higher demand for healthcare has brought back those highly skilled physicians to provide low-cost care.

According to the head of the Majlis Health Commission, many medical advances have been made by Iranian researchers recently and Iran is one of the most progressive countries in the region. There is no need of foreign doctors as Iranian doctors are among the most qualified ones in the world.
