The phrases such as "woman health policy", "woman health promotion", "woman health strategy" and "woman health plan" were searched. The criteria based on which the countries were chosen were the degree to which they were developed in health system, health indexes, the accessibility of required information, and the possibility of benchmarking the new methods.
Emphasize on gender as a determinant of health, increasing the economic activities of women, decreasing the violence against women, gender-based researches, and inter-sectorial approach are some common items in the women's health plans in selected countries. The main upstream documents about women health in Iran such as 'Research policies and principles of women issues', "Women Charter of Rights in Iran" were not developed and implemented in form of a comprehensive plan so we need to formulate a full women health national plan that summarizes all previous policies with addition of new needed strategies inclusion.

国家计划在明确愿景、目标、优先事项和行动计划方面发挥着重要作用。本文审视了在制定有关妇女健康的上游文件方面的国际经验；探讨了制定伊朗妇女健康计划的必要性。
本综述通过在电子数据库和不限年份的文献中进行检索。检索了诸如“妇女健康政策”“妇女健康促进”“妇女健康战略”和“妇女健康计划”等短语。选择国家所依据的标准包括其卫生系统的发达程度、健康指标、所需信息的可获取性以及借鉴新方法的可能性。
强调性别作为健康的决定因素、增加妇女的经济活动、减少对妇女的暴力行为、基于性别的研究以及跨部门方法是所选国家妇女健康计划中的一些共同内容。伊朗关于妇女健康的主要上游文件，如“妇女问题研究政策与原则”“伊朗妇女权利宪章”，并未以全面计划的形式制定和实施，因此我们需要制定一项完整的国家妇女健康计划，总结以往所有政策，并纳入新的必要战略。
借鉴所选国家的经验，为伊朗妇女健康制定一项国家计划，可为健康制定长期愿景，并获得在伊朗促进妇女健康所需的机构和组织努力及资源。
