Universal health coverage(UHC) is considered as a mission of the HealthSystem in order to achieve the third-millennium development goal. Different countries carry outset of healthcare reforms to cover all patients and increase access to the necessary healthcare services with the least financialproblems[1]. During

care expenditures annually.

No sooner did the previous government change than the new one brought the spirit of reconciliation on both sides (Iran and the six governments including the five permanent members of the UnitedNationsSecurity Council—China, France, Russia, UnitedKingdom, UnitedStates—plus Germany, and the European Union)in terms of reducing Iran phobia and resolving the issue of the previous international sanctions(primary agreement at November,24th, 2013), while Rohani-Care was performed, as one of the greatest social reforms. On5th May, 2013, Rouhani-Care began to work to reduce out-of-pocket expenditures, improve patientaccessto medical care and expensive pharmaceuticals, and promote the quality of health services.
