Resistive Economy in the Field of Health

اقتصاد مقاومتي[1]، در سال‌هاي اخير (به‌طور جدي از سال‌هاي 95 و 96)، الگويي مناسب براي برون‌رفت از چالش‌هاي كلي كشور معرفي شده است؛ هر چند شروع اين حركت را مي‌توان از سال 88 و با شعار اصلاح الگوي مصرف در نظر گرفت

Over recent years (rigorously in 1395 & 1396), resistive economy has introduced an appropriate pattern to overcome the general challenges of the country although its movement dates back to 1388 (August, 2012) when the credo of „correcting consumption pattern‟ initiated the proceedings (1). By its international definition, resistive economy is a way “to circumvent sanctions against a country or region experiencing sanctions, which involves raising resilience or substituting local inputs for imported inputs” (2). However, the localized definition offered by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran is that resistive economy “can determine the prosperity and well-being of the country under pressure, sanction, outright hostility, and animosity” (3). Based on this definition, resistive economy in the area of health means: health system of the country has to adopt its goals, strategies, and activities in a way that it guarantees the health of the society in every aspect – physical, psychological, social, and spiritual; even its thriving and growth under pressure, sanction, outright hostility, and animosity. Resistive economy, particularly knowledge-based economy, is one of the procedures for developing health (4). Therefore, resistive economy in the field of health is more of a preventive action from primary type which in the presence of critical factors such as sanctions and hostilities not only blocks the health threats but also promotes its status. Thus, the key question is „what actions can be taken by health system of the country in implementing resistive economy for health purposes? and in what areas should these actions take place? To address this question, resistive economy should be categorized into three areas based on the typical responsibilities of health system (supplying health, medical, educational, and research services); besides, measures need to be taken in order to carry them out.
