"nImprovement of health in any society is dependent to the researches conducted to the national medical challenges of that country. But it is proved that not all the researches conducted in a country are relevant to the health problems of that society. So strategic research planning is a key factor for conduction of research activities. A research roadmap in general and also in different scientific fields is mandatory for proper planning and implementations of research activities. Considering the changes of health problems in time and rapid development in medicine, this roadmap needs regular revision and monitoring.
