Iran boasts advanced medical infrastructure, specialized hospitals, skilled physicians, and professional healthcare staff, enabling it to offer a wide range of medical, cosmetic, rehabilitation, and traditional treatments at international standards. Fields such as infertility treatment, ophthalmology, dentistry, orthopedics, and physiotherapy are among the country’s strong points.

Medical tourism is a high-revenue sector within Iran’s service economy, contributing significantly to foreign exchange earnings, job creation, healthcare quality improvement, and overall economic growth. Competitive pricing compared to other countries makes Iran an attractive destination for health tourists.

Iran hosts thousands of health tourists annually from neighboring countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, and Gulf nations. There is also potential to expand into new markets in Central Asia, Africa, and even parts of Europe, strengthening the export of healthcare services.

Iran’s main advantages include affordable yet high-quality services, medical expertise, cultural and linguistic proximity to target markets, and the opportunity to combine healthcare with cultural and nature tourism. Additionally, the integration of traditional Iranian-Islamic medicine enhances the country’s unique position in the global health tourism industry.
