considering the special case of Hamedan province of Iran in order to evaluate
Government performance during the planning years 1999-2004 on the same
subject.

Numerical Taxonomy, Coefficient of Deprivation, Standardized Method and
factor analysis to classify the provinces in Iran according to health care
indicators and related facilities. Relevant data (18 health and Medicare indexes)

Statistics, Management and Programming Organization and Health Network
Offices of Iran. The selection of indexes was done on the basis of past related
studies and human development indices.

Health Centers, Rural Health Centers, Urban waste water Drainage Units and
Sub Rural Health, could describe nearly about 76 percent of variances
