Iran's low wages impact migrants and taxi drivers
The abandonment of medical professions by Iranian doctors is increasing due to low wages and rising living costs. More than 50,000 individuals outside the medical field in the country are suffering, with many migrating abroad or changing their specialties. Many have to work as laborers in the transportation sector or in other jobs to cover their living expenses, with taxi drivers sometimes earning more than doctors. This situation has led to the closure of many medical clinics and a decline in access to healthcare services, especially in remote areas. The main reason is that salaries for medical professionals have not increased in proportion to inflation, threatening to worsen the doctor shortage crisis and further deteriorate the quality of healthcare in Iran.
