The used model was based on neoclassical economicgrowth model.RESULTS: The results indicated that during the former planning periods, although specializedworkforce has been increased significantly in health‑care sector, lack of attention to equilibriumgrowth conditions caused imbalance conditions for product level and specialized workforce inhealth‑care sector.CONCLUSIONS: In the past development plans for health services, equilibrium conditions based onthe full employment in the capital stock, and specialized labor are not considered.
