"It is Widely Known that, causes of disparities in quality of care are multiple and are the result of a variety of factors but generally speaking Socio economic inequities such as income, education, occupation, family structure, service availability, directly affect the resources required to maintain healthy regions and play a pivotal role as health indicators (Collins, 2004).
2- Materials and Methods The present study focused on Health care Indices collected from Iran, for the period 2004 - 2006, to find out ranking positions of the states and their comparative developmental status from one hand and extract principal components basically responsible for regional disparities.

It is also reported that despite of considerable improvements in the overall health of the country, over 8-10% of the population is not covered by any insurance scheme and has to pay directly, underdeveloped regions experience disparities in health care services and are less likely to receive routine medical procedures and have higher rates of morbidity and mortality than prosperous developed areas (World health statistics, 2007)."
