Abstract:
Background and Aim: Aside from the crisis and hardships caused for the international society, nation-states and the individuals, the Covid-19 pandemic has faced the man with the fact that the social life of human being contains serious pitfalls and deficiencies. A fact which stands true for the social life of Iranians as well. The post-Covid social, political, cultural and economical situation of the Iranian society has sustained compelling turbulences and has disclosed several deficiencies. As to one of such deficiencies, one can refer to the health-care system which has clearly proven its flaws and vulnerabilities one of which is the absence of health governance. The public law of health theory (which must be distinguished from the public health law concept) is a theory which has never been raised in the Iranian legal literature and can provide a promising solution for the fight against Covid-19 pandemic. According to the said theory, focus must be had on dissemination of public law of health and heath governance in order for all the organs of the governance system to function toward provision of health care.

Results: Health governance discourse in context of health approach- public law assists officials against Covid-19
