Abstract
Iran is a country of mountains, plateaus, and deserts that borders on Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan. In 2011, the Iranian population was 74,961,720, with 29% of the population living in rural areas (Statistical Center of Iran, 2012).
The Declaration of Alma-Ata adopted at the International Conference on Primary Health Care (World Health Organization [WHO], 1978) coincided with the Iranian revolution, which spawned enormous political and social changes within the country and became the basis for a major health-system reform
