Abstract: (252 Views)
The share of foreign nationals in Iran’s population is significant, and the country hosts approximately 6.8 million foreign migrants. However, for various reasons, a large portion of this population is less visible compared to the Iranian population, as their databases are incomplete, fragmented, inaccurate, and lack a regular and structured mechanism for updating data. This issue has created serious challenges in providing healthcare services to this large population. The consequences are not limited to foreign nationals, as diseases within this group can easily spread to the Iranian population as well. Therefore, it is necessary to take appropriate measures and immediate actions to manage their data effectively in order to optimize resource management, enhance security and equity in the provision of healthcare services, and support the delivery of broader services to migrants.
