Social security is considered as a new concept in
the developed and developing world
Universal Deceleration of Human Rights has
identified Social Security not only as a public
right regardless of the age, gender, race and
class of people, but also as a major indicator
of the range of growth and development of
different societies as well as quality and
quantity of social insurance services.
Diversification and expansion of the range of the
insurance services to different levels of people,
particularly to those who are productive, is
considered to be another important criterion of
improvement and development

CIVIL SERVANTS PENSION FUND (CSFP)

Introduction
The Civil Servants Pension Fund shows a dynamic
development extending the coverage as needed and
introducing ICT into everyday operations. The
development of this fund will depend largely on
external factors, i.e. the development of public
sector as a whole, its role in policy-making and
service provision as well as on the development
of the population structure. The latter factor
influencing on the development of the
organization refers to the universal problem of
early retirement ages which may hamper the
sustainability of the pension system, despite the
well developed investment policy of the Civil
Servants Pension Fund.

• Establishing a self-sufficient system based on
  the scientific studies and arranging an
  appropriate system for paying pension to the

CHARITY FOUNDATION FOR SPECIAL DISEASES
50
Introduction
The Charity Foundation for Special Diseases is a
voice of small patient groups and forerunner in
developing high quality services. It combines
according to our view both visionary management
and top expertise. The scope of diseases the
organization is focusing is very wide, and in
international context many of them are rather
common (many types of cancer diabetes). This
means that research carried out in Iran by this
organization would in many other countries be
carried out by mainstream medical research
institutions.
