Abstract

Providing optimal rehabilitation services for people with disabilities has always been recognized as a major concern of health systems in all countries. Stewardship is one of the biggest challenges to provide rehabilitation services to people with disabilities in Iran. We advocate the Ministry of Health & Medical Education (MoHME) to take the lead as a steward of rehabilitation services in Iran, while the dedicated sections in the MoHME need to be determined, with a clear list of responsibilities and affiliations. © Iran University of Medical Sciences
