The plan, which seeks to protect peoples’ financial against health costs, improving quality and access to health care, it was implemented in govermental hospitals across the country in April 2014. The current research was applied in terms of descriptive-cross-sectional method and using the questionnaire tool. Hence, the statistical population included citizen stakeholders in the development of the health system (doctors, people, and nurses). Based on the results of the data analysis in SPSS software, study showed that the appropriateness of assessing the Iranian physicians' knowledge of the Health System Evolution Plan was in the first rank with the average score of 2.98.
