Abstract

Background and Objectives: Iran is a large country that is often an importer of MAJOR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT. There is no comprehensive databank of the status of the equipment in the country. The present study provides a clear description of the dispersal status of MAJOR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT in the country in 2016 and the estimated number of required devices in 2026.Methods: This study was conducted in 2016 in Iran. The study included 8 MRI, CT SCAN, gamma camera, linear accelerator, PET scan, cardiac angiography, peripheral angiography, and CT angiography devices. The data of the number of equipment in each city were collected through a census of devices.Results: At the beginning of the year 2016, 3.5 MRI devices, 6.93 CT SCANs, 2.18 gamma cameras, 1.23 linear accelerators, 0.04 PET scans, 2.3 cardiac angiography devices, 0.27 peripheral angiography devices, and 0.25 CT angiography devices per million population were active in Iran. CT SCAN and MRI devices were the most available equipment. It is estimated that the same pattern should be maintained in 2026, but the distribution of devices as well as the total number of devices in the country should improve.Conclusion: In 2016, for most of the devices, the proportion of the device to the population in the whole country was close to the global average, but there was a large accumulation of devices in large cities. This problem has been identified and interventions have been planned to move towards reducing inequalities In Iran's Health Roadmap.
