Description

Ahad Bakhtiari and colleagues explore in 2026 fresh ways to pay for health care for migrants and refugees in Iran. Money is tight, authority is split across many bodies, and displacement has lasted for years. Afghan migrants form the main group affected, with mixed legal and insurance status.

The team combined a literature sweep, national document review, and interviews with 44 people from agencies, insurers, charities, and migrant communities. Fifteen experts also mapped who influences whom in a network analysis. Stakeholders were rated by interest, money-raising power, and policy sway. Findings point to underused funding routes that link existing pots of money more tightly, rather than building parallel systems for displaced people.
