One of the key reasons patients choose Iran for medical care is the country’s regulated and safe medical tourism system, which is overseen by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME).
🏛️ Supervised and Licensed Medical Providers
All international patients must be treated in hospitals or clinics that are officially:
- IPD-certified (International Patients Department)
- Licensed and audited regularly by MOHME
- Staffed with bilingual professionals trained for global standards
🔒 Patient Rights & Transparency
Iran has clear legal protections for foreign patients:
- Patients receive detailed informed consent documents in Arabic/English
- All medical records are confidential and shared securely
- Prices are transparent, and patients get full pre-approval before treatment
🚨 Emergency Support and Travel Insurance
Many facilitators in Iran offer:
- 24/7 medical emergency assistance
- Assistance with medical travel insurance
- Coordination with embassies and consulates in case of unexpected situations
📃 Facilitator Accreditation
Medical tourism agencies and coordinators are also required to:
- Register with MOHME and tourism ministries
- Use licensed interpreters and translators
- Provide clear contract terms and refund policies
With these regulations, Iran ensures a safe, ethical, and high-quality experience for every international patient — with government oversight every step of the way.
