In Iran, discrimination based on gender in enjoyment of the right to health is prohibited. Making health services physically and financially accessible to the entire population and removing social and cultural barriers of women's access to health services are main considerations of the health laws and policies of Iran. The health of Iranian women has improved considerably in recent years. But there are disparities in health status and access of women to health services around the country. Some groups of women, including the poor, the elderly, the disabled, the illegal immigrant, and those without an appropriate male guardian, and rural women have limited access to health services in Iran. To realize women's right to health, this country should immediately remove the disparities and use all the necessary means including legislative, administrative, budgetary, promotional, and judicial measures. National plans on women's empowerment and support should be interpreted in provincial programs and action plans. Moreover, a monitoring system and certain benchmarks for tracing the progress of the plans should be established. Realizing other economic, social, and cultural rights including the rights to food, shelter, education, work, social security, and participation in society will improve the Iranian women's enjoyment of their right.
在伊朗，禁止基于性别的歧视，以享有健康权。使全体人民能够实际获得和负担得起卫生服务，并消除妇女获得卫生服务的社会和文化障碍，这是伊朗卫生法律和政策的主要考虑因素。近年来，伊朗妇女的健康状况有了相当大的改善。但全国各地妇女的健康状况和获得卫生服务的情况存在差异。一些妇女群体，包括穷人、老年人、残疾人、非法移民和没有适当男性监护人的人以及农村妇女，在伊朗获得卫生服务的机会有限。为了实现妇女的健康权，该国应立即消除差异，并利用包括立法、行政、预算、宣传和司法措施在内的一切必要手段。关于增强妇女权能和支持妇女的国家计划应在省级方案和行动计划中得到解释。此外，应建立监测系统和某些基准，以跟踪计划的进展情况。实现包括食物、住所、教育、工作、社会保障和参与社会在内的其他经济、社会和文化权利，将改善伊朗妇女对其权利的享有。
