An example of administrative disorganization and unprofessional referrals

1. The president of the Medical System Organization sent a letter to the President requesting a 40% increase in healthcare service tariffs as approved by the Supreme Health Insurance Council for the second half of this year.

2. The President's office forwarded this request to the Minister of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education for "review," without placing it on Ebrahim Raisi's desk for his attention or comments.

3. Without waiting for a response to his first letter, the president of the Medical System Organization, on the same date, sent a separate letter (not even a copy of the one to the President) with the same request to Mohammad Mokhber, the First Vice President.

4. Mohammad Mokhber forwarded the exact request to the Minister of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education for "action."

Now:

a. The Minister of Health is faced with two contradictory directives: "review" and "action."

b. Is the problem with the president of the Medical System Organization due to a lack of understanding of the administrative structure and the exercise of power, or is it the responsibility of the technical staff and the heads of the President's office and the First Vice President's office for failing to prepare a comprehensive and effective memo for issuing orders?

The result of this specific action and correspondence is not the goal or intention of Abdi Media; rather, it demands its own technical and administrative work within the Ministry of Health, the Secretariat of the Supreme Health Insurance Council, and the relevant authorities.

This only illustrates a small part of the management and bureaucratic dysfunctions afflicting the country, which directly harms the public.
