“…Iran, with a population of approximately 85 million people [ 5 ], a per capita GDP of approximately $4400 [ 6 ], and a per capita healthcare expenditure of approximately $570 per year [ 7 ], has a mixed health system in which public, private, nongovernmental, and nonprofit sectors are involved in financing, producing resources, and providing medical services [ 8 ].

Background Identifying factors affecting health costs can contribute to formulating the best policies for controlling and managing health costs. To this end, the present study aimed to analyze resource wastage and identify the factors underlying it in COVID-19 management in Iran’s health sector. Method This qualitative content analysis study was conducted in Iran’s health sector. The participants were 23 senior, middle, and operational managers in the health sector. The data were collected through semistructured interviews with the managers. The participants were selected using purposive, quota, and snowball sampling techniques. The interviews continued until the data were saturated. The collected data were analyzed using MAXQDA software (version 10). Results Following the data analysis, the factors affecting the wastage of health resources were divided into 4 themes and 13 main themes. Vaccines, diagnostic kits, medicines, and human resources were the main factors underlying resource wastage. The identified main themes were open and unused vials, nonuse of distributed vaccines and their expiration, excess supply and decreased demand for vaccines, expiration of diagnostic and laboratory kits and their quantitative and qualitative defects, and the large number of tests. Inefficiency and the expiration of COVID-19 drugs, poor drug supply and consumption chain management, inaccuracy in inventory control and expiration dates, disorganization and inconsistency in the distribution of healthcare staff, low productivity of the staff, and failure to match the staff’s skills with assigned tasks in selected centers were identified as the most important causes of resource wastage. Conclusion Given the limited health funds and the increased healthcare costs, effective preparation and planning and making reasonable decisions for unexpected events can minimize unnecessary costs and resource wastage, which requires some revisions in attitudes toward COVID-19 management in the healthcare sector.

“…Dopo aver fatto ciò, non trasformò il paese in una teocrazia assoluta, bensì decise di mantenere una sorta di struttura razionalelegale basando il nuovo Iran su di una forma costituzionale di fatto unica al mondo, poiché caratterizzata da una combinazione tra elementi occidentali ed islamici. Infatti, come esplicato precedentemente, la caratteristica principale della Costituzione dell'Iran, attualmente ancora in vigore, è che si tratta di un unicum nel cosiddetto mondo islamico e pone le basi per riformulare le principali istituzioni del paese in uno stile molto simile a quelli dei paesi occidentali -con un presidente, un governo e un parlamento (Ramazani 1980;Shevlin et al 1998;Saffari 1993).…”
