Social insurance and its institutions in Iran: topics of interest in social insurance مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

Despite these arguments, today the determination of the treatment period in most laws of several countries that have made great progress in social security (such as New Zealand) has been observed, including in Iran, which will be stated: Article 2 of the legal bill for workers' social insurance has assigned duties to the organization, the first and second clauses of which are: 1- Accidents, illnesses, and disabilities resulting from work and not resulting from work. In the event that the insured individual, after an ordinary illness or accident not resulting from work, requires medical aids such as glasses, dentures, varicose stockings, artificial eyes, artificial limbs, hearing aids, and the like, the insurance institution takes responsibility for their procurement and delivery; Article 45 of the Iranian law also predicts this (hearing aids are not specified in this regard), and the condition for the insured individual's use in this case is the payment of two years of insurance premiums. The duration of treatment for insured individuals who are employed at the time of illness is six months, and for workers, it is unlimited; if the medical commission diagnoses after six months of treatment that the patient is disabled, the patient is considered permanently disabled and will utilize the disability pension resulting from work (Article 54). Accidents resulting from work, like occupational diseases, are treatable at any time after the worker or any insured individual becomes insured, and treatment will continue for up to one year; after that, if the medical commission diagnoses that continuing treatment is necessary and useful, it will be extended for up to two months.
