Background: Mutiple factors hinder growth and development of medical sciences and prevent it from reaching the global position it had in the ancient times. While reviewing the obstacles to the sustainable growth of medical sciences in Iran, this article endeavors to analyse these factors.
Methods: A number of methods including collective discussion and negotiation of experts with expertise in various fields, summarizing the results, and also studying some published articles have been used in the preparation of this article.
Results: Eighteen factors with a negative effect on the growth, development and promotion of medical sciences were extracted, which can be summarized as follows: disregard for Iranian Islamic values in education, research and culture; consideration for statistics instead of paying attention to quality; not paying enough attention to the educated and elite in the field of health; poor planning in creating common disciplines in the health sector; lack of attention to providing health care factors and necessary preventions to stay healthy; lack of communication and cooperation with the centers for education, research and treatment of developed countries; not providing the necessary infrastructure and conditions to attract medical students from the region; not being in contact with Iranian specialists living in other countries, not paying enough attention to the necessary infrastructure to have a health-oriented community model; lack of justice-oriented health; weakness in the system of production, distribution, pricing and consumption and use of generic drug plan; lack of infrastructure for optimal use of the health system by the people of the region; weaknesses in the management of the country's health system and integration of decision-making authorities, especially in time periods like the Covid-19 epidemic; the need for trusted educational and information channels for health, treatment and care in certain courses; the need for better policy-making and legislation in relation to health and treatment and provision of a secure executive education system; depreciating the dimensions of mental health and spiritual social health; the need to take a stand in relation to the promotion of superstitions and unscientific views; weakness in forseeing education, research and prevention and treatment.
Conclusion: In order to gain authority in medical science in the region and the world and make optimal use of budgets and facilities for faster growth of the medical science community and reach its previous position in the world, it is necessary to take the above factors into account.
