Abstract:
Unlike in the past, people are always under leadership of government and one of the most frequent areas of state intervention based on the responsibility of modern governments in the light of human right and dignity is the public health issue. In Iran, a large part of government supervision in the field of public health is exercised by the Commission on the subject of Article 20 of the Code relating to the medical, pharmaceutical, food and drink matters adopted in 1334 (with subsequent amendments). This commission based on the state's distinctive power through the prior supervision is the authority to establish and evaluate the general and technical competence of the founders and technical authorities of the medical institutions. In addition, the commission as a quasi-judicial administrative authority exceptionally has the authority to make a decision on certain violations of medical institutions and in cases which has competent to discriminate, monitor and decide can be considered as special judiciary bailiffs.
