Abstract
Health is a multi-core processing and is very important. On the one hand, many factors involved in
creating and sustaining it and is the result of the participation of all administrative units of a community
and on the other hand, has a significant impact on other sectors of a society. What is important in the
health care is equity. The present study aimed to review the fairness and justice of our health services
during the third and fourth development programs. This study conducted in 2012 by reviewing the library
and internet to collect information about the subject. Then the research findings were organized and
arranged. As was stated, although there are no shortcomings in terms of legal content and planning for
expanding equity in financial access, there are numerous problems and by ending the third and fourth
development programs, there is no statistical analysis and annually documented reports to know to what
extent the goals have been achieved. Reviews showed that health sector policies could not significantly
improve equity in financial access. However, we have made improvements to some extent but more
research is needed to find out the root causes of unsuccessful applications.
