“…Two organizations are entitled to provide support to war victims: the Foundation of Martyrs Affairs (FMA) and the Janbazan Affairs Organization (JAO). According to the statistics of the JAO in 2007, nearly 400,000 people required prolonged medical care as a consequence of war injuries (Zargar et al, 2007;Noorbala, 2010). The effects of the Iraq-Iran war are thus a major health issue in both countries 25 years after the ceasefire (Zargar et al, 2007;Salamati et al, 2013).…”

Iraq−Iran war resulted in more than 400,000 people requiring prolonged medical care in Iran.An international team of prominent reconstructive surgeons led by Paul Tessier, the founder of craniofacial surgery, was invited to Iran during the war by official organizations entitled to support war victims. This team provided up-to-date oral and maxillofacial rehabilitation to patients with severe trauma defects in the lower third of the face. We collected the medical notes of 43 patients operated on by the Tessier team in Iran in the 1980s (files property of AFCF). The parameters we collected were: age of the patient, nature of the trauma (when available), previous procedures, number of implants placed (mandibular and maxillary), associated procedures (bone grafts, soft-tissue procedures, orthognathic surgery). A protocol based on soft-tissue rehabilitation using local flaps, parietal or iliac bone grafts and implant placement 6 months later was used in all patients. Paul Tessier's approach emphasizes the importance of keeping high standards of care in difficult situations and maintain standard protocols.

BackgroundWar-related traumas can lead to orthopedic and neurological disorders in victims. However, the scope of such disorders may expand months or even years after the trauma. Orthotic treatment as a rehabilitation process aims to enable people with disabilities to reach and maintain their optimal physical, sensory, intellectual, psychological, and social functional levels. This study aimed to investigate the rate of using orthoses among Iranian veterans with neuromuscular and skeletal disorders of the ankle and foot. Furthermore, the priorities of orthotic treatment in those veterans were explored.MethodsThis qualitative study was a national health needs assessment conducted in 11 provinces of Iran during 2011–2016. A stakeholder research group was established to survey the veterans in respect to their demographic variables, activities of daily living, current health conditions, and rate of using orthoses.ResultsOverall, 907 of the 1124 veteran participants completed the survey (response rate: 80.7%). Most of the veterans were men (97.7%), and their age and disability rate were 52.07 ± 8.13 years and 31.92% ± 14.93%, respectively. Nearly 42% of the veterans had experience in using orthoses on a daily and weekly basis. As physical ambulation was the main problematic activity in veterans, most of them were using medical shoes and foot orthoses. Nearly 37% of veterans were in need of some type of lower limb orthoses on the contralateral side to compensate for their hip inequality. In sequential order, the most in need orthoses for veterans were foot orthoses (n = 538), medical shoes (n = 447), lower limb orthoses on the contralateral side (n = 320), spinal orthoses (n = 273), and upper limb orthoses (n = 86).ConclusionsIn spite of the high demands for orthoses among Iranian veterans with ankle and foot disorders, the use of orthoses is insufficient. Hence, there is a discrepancy between the current rate of orthoses use and its ideal situation, and more resources should be provided for service providers to be able to serve veterans. Moreover, veterans should be educated regarding orthoses, their use, and their impacts on the user’s health status. The findings of a needs assessment of orthoses can be used in strategic planning and decision making to improve health care services for Iranian veterans.

“…After 28 years, many of the veterans have passed away due to different kinds of injuries and the statistics are increasing [10]. Iran has taken policies in order to decrease the difficulties as well as improving the quality of life of the war survivors, one of which is covering the families of the martyrs and veterans including the father, mother, spouse and children under the supplementary insurance for all the costs of their treatments [11].…”

Introduction: During trips the imposed costs are aggravated due to time and financial limits, not being familiar with treatment centers that are covered by the insurances and charges for accommodation. Insurance, especially supplementary treatment services insurance can be an appropriate solution to decrease these costs. These kinds of insurances cover a range of services including outpatient services to hospitalization and even sometimes unlimited services. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the satisfaction of war survivors and their families under the cover of supplementary insurance from medical care during trips. Methods: This study was cross -sectional descriptive. The size of studied population was 77 people from war survivors and their families who were assessed by a provided questionnaire in 2015. The including criteria was war survivors and their families under the cover of Veterans and Martyrs Affair Foundation (VMAF) and supplementary insurance war survivors. The prepared questionnaire included two sections; the first section was included the personal indications and the second section included satisfaction evaluations. Results: The prevalence of using medical care during trips in war survivors and their families was 2.72% and using medical care with supplemental insurance in trips was 1.5%. The obtained results from the questionnaires revealed that the highest satisfaction on medical care services and its distance belongs to the veterans' families with the mean of 4.57and 4.27, respectively. In the subject of taking back the costs, martyrs' families were the least satisfied with the mean of 2.17. A significant relationship was found between sex and distance of the medical care services in trips (p=0.046). Men had more satisfaction compared to women. Finally it can be mentioned that there was not a significant relationship between client group and distance of medical care services during trips (p=0.067). Conclusion: According to the results, affording the costs and paying them back by the insurance company needs modifications.
