The ethnomedical practices that can be identifiable nowadays derive from the experience of local people who have developed remedies against a wide range of diseases handing down the knowledge from generation to generation over the millennia. Traditional medicine practices represent an important source of inspiration in the process of the development of new drugs and therapeutic strategies. In this context, it is useful to determine the state of the art of ethnomedical studies, concerning the Iranian territory, and of scientific studies on plants used in traditional Iranian medicine.

Abstract Background: Healthcare systems have an intrinsic responsibility to meet medial and non-medical expectations of people. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the Iranian health system responsiveness in the city of Jahrom. Methods: This study comprised of 600 patients from 6 health centers in Jahrom County. Data were gathered via a standard self- report questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate data. Results: Responsiveness of Jahrom health system was reported to be higher than average (3.32 ± 0.41). Being female, being from low income families, and patients on inpatient services were factors directly associated with higher rate of good responsiveness (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The Iranian health evolution plan is expected to have potential to promote responsiveness and quality of healthcare services, an area deserving more investigations.
