description [1] It is significant that the return on investment in health field is almost twice of that in oil and gas fields and with smart investment in a specified time period achieved optimal productivity. The phenomenon of urbanization and lifestyle changes is rapidly increasing the burden of noncommunicable diseases in developing countries; hence, investment and planning in noncommunicable diseases is important with regard to goals of social determinants of health to overcome health inequities and other unfair and avoidable differences in health status observed within and between countries. In the past, insurance organizations only provided therapeutic services; however, now, it has become evident that if insurance organizations invest in the primary health by providing insurance services to healthy people, lots of future expenditures for the treatment of patients could be reduced.
