Background: Active and effective participation of women as half of the effective forces of any society, in addition to ensuring sustainable growth and survival, has a serious connection with individual, family and social prosperity policies This study aimed to investigate the status of women's scientific productions in the field of health and the factors affecting it and providing solutions to improve the corresponding processes and outputs. Methods: Through the first step, in order to examine the status of women's scientific positions and scientific productions, a systematic search was completed through the main international databases PubMed, ISI/WOS and SCOPUS and the domestic sources. In the second part, in-depth individual interviews were conducted with 18 key experts and informants. The results of the qualitative analysis of these two stages were finalized and approved by a panel of experts. Results: Policies related to the role of women in science and technology also face challenges in developed countries. Identifying capabilities, providing equal competitive opportunities, and encouraging women to enter the fields of scientific participation require removing restrictions and will not be easily achieved. Despite the priority of the issue and the efforts made, there is still a clear deficiency in relevant scientific documentation and supporting policy-making in this area. Conclusion: Providing supporting documentation for policy-making, sustainability of policies and programs, continuous evaluation and monitoring of programs, analysis of inequality indicators in the field of participation of women and men in the country's scientific production, and attracting women's participation in policy-making, planning, and implementation are among the most important strategies emphasized in the present study.
