As for many developing countries, health issues in Iran stem from a variety of reasons: namely, water and sanitation, diet and fitness, various addictions, mental fitness, communicable diseases, hygiene and the environment.
The Human Rights Measurement Initiative[1] finds that Iran is fulfilling 88.6% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to health based on its level of income.[2] When looking at the right to health with respect to children, Iran achieves 96.5% of what is expected based on its current income.[2] In regards to the right to health amongst the adult population, the country achieves 98.8% of what is expected based on the nation's level of income.[2] Iran falls into the "very bad" category when evaluating the right to reproductive health because the nation is fulfilling only 70.6% of what the nation is expected to achieve based on the resources (income) it has available.[2]
