Conclusion: The fundamental rights of health have been emphasized in Iran's legal system so since the beginning of the modern government, more than 600 laws and regulations have been approved in the field of health system. In fact, Iran is one of the most advanced countries in the Asian continent in the field of medicine and health. However, the most important internal challenges facing health and the institutionalization of health rights as a fundamental right are the problem of providing medicine and medical equipment due to the embargo on oil exports and the embargo of the Central Bank, immigration of doctors and nurses and medical staff, issues related to insurances and non-observance of transparency. In the medical system, the private sector is responsible for medical expenses. In terms of institutionalizing maritime health rights in commercial ships at the international level, the most important step taken is the ratification of the Maritime Labor Convention in 2006 by the International Labor Organization, which Iran also ratified on May 19, 2010. This convention was implemented on August 20, 2013, one year after the registration of 30 countries that own more than 33 percent of the gross tonnage of the world's ships. In fact, the main philosophy of this convention is to protect the health of seafarers and ensure their prompt access to medical care on board and ashore. Therefore, any country that approves the convention in its legal system. shall ensure that seafarers on board ships in their territory who require urgent medical attention have access to medical facilities ashore and requirements for health care and medical care on board ships including standards for safety aimed at providing Health care and medical care are provided to seafarers to be as comparable as possible to what is available ashore. Another important point is that protection and health care are provided at no cost to seafarers.
