Abstract
Introduction: Law is an important tool for the realization of health policies and health legislations must be in accordance with “good legislative” procedures. Based on the legislative formalities in Iran, the Cabinet develops the bills and the parliament is the legislative body. The current study aimed to investigate the laws passed in the field of health from the perspective of legislative initiative.
Methodology: In this comparative study, ten terms of the Islamic Parliament of Iran are investigated. Laws and bills submitted in each term were identified and reviewed.
Results: From the first to the tenth legislature a total of 60, 53, 46, 48, 46, 39, 40, 44, 39, and 37 health-related bills have been presented, of which 36, 31, 27, 31, 28, 22, 25, 29, 8, and 14 laws are passed, which most of them have been bills. In various legislatures, the ratio of bills to plans has been different. As we approach the present, the number of passed health-related laws decreases.
Conclusion: The higher number of bills, compared to plans, is in line with good legislative principles. Due to the existence of powerful associations, which based on the constitution can provide legal comment, the higher number of bills is not unexpected.
