Introduction: Health is considered as an important and valuable tool and goal for human well-being. Therefore, economists and policymakers have paid special attention to the optimal methods and systems for promoting the health of communities. In recent years, efforts to address these concerns have had a significant impact on human health and well-being in many parts of the world, and most countries in the world have experienced rapid growth in their health care costs in recent years. Given the growing cost of this sector, it seems conspicuous to determin the components that affect health spending. Also, human health is a fundamental right and a valuable asset and capital for all levels and classes of society and the study of various aspects of health in rural areas and efforts to promote it has an effective role in the sustainability of rural areas. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the indicators affecting health care in rural areas of Iran.
The present study examines the indicators affecting the health care of rural households. The data of the present study have been extracted from the Central Bank and the Statistics Center of Iran and have been reviewed and estimated using the econometrics methods.
The results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between dependent variables and independent variables and the education and training costs have the most and then health insurance costs and per capita income affect health care costs.
