Shahriari, head of the Iranian Parliament Health and Treatment Committee, said that Iranian patients will have to bear 55% to 75% of medical expenses at their own expense this year, while the prices of some drugs have risen 400% to 500%. Payments at some public hospitals have been in arrears for 10 to 12 months. Shahriari said there are reports that patients are being asked to prepare their own clothing and some hospital supplies. He described the situation as “very abnormal and worrying” and blamed it on the hospital's lack of funding.
