Research method is descriptive-analytical, and data are analyzed using SWOT model, and AHP hierarchical process has been used for weighting the internal and external factors. Results achieved in this study indicate that the weighting score of strengths in INDIA is 3.6 with high efficiency and weighting score of weaknesses is 2.8 with low efficiency. Also, weighting score of opportunities in INDIA is evaluated 3.6 and threatening 3.4. Tourism strengths in IRAN have been assessed 3.8 and the weaknesses 3.5 with a high rate of efficiency and opportunities scored 3.8 and threats scored 1.4 with a high rate of efficiency. However, the findings of this study indicate that INDIA managed to appropriately exploit the opportunities and strengths of HEALTH TOURISM and make the system's weaknesses ineffective. HEALTH TOURISM planners in IRAN should also take a measure to reduce weaknesses and threats of HEALTH TOURISM and enhance its strengths and opportunities utilizing the experience achieved in INDIA.
