Adapted fairness benchmarks for the evaluation of Iran health system reform.

The priorities of fairness benchmarking through localization included focusing on the quantity and quality of primary health care, allocating resources based on the need; for equitable efficiency, and paying attention to community-based information infrastructure, and social determinants for fair reform. Moreover, respecting patient rights as a part of democratic accountability was more close to equity. Elimination of financial and nonfinancial barriers for health access and coverage based on vulnerability, through fair financing, was also confirmed.
