Abstract

In Iran, during the past few years, there has been an outburst of chronic inflammatory diseases, cancers of the stomach, breast, lung, and prostate, and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and  ultiple sclerosis. Latestage referral of patients is a major factor contributing to health care failures. As a result, for most of these conditions, treatments are ineffective. Patients undergo frustrating and redundant examinations at high expense, and  hey are left desperate and with poor quality of life and survival.
