Sayyid Hassan Ghazizadeh Hashemi (Persian: سید حسن قاضی‌زاده هاشمی; born 21 March 1959)[3] is an Iranian ophthalmologist and associate professor of Tehran University of Medical Sciences,[3] who served as the Minister of Health and Medical Education from 2013 to 2019 in the administration of President Hassan Rouhani.[4]

He has previously served as an advisor to former minister Mohammad Farhadi from 1997 to 2001 and Chancellor of the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, School of Medicine.[4]

Ghazizadeh Hashemi is known as the designer of "Health evolution plan" (Persian: طرح تحول سلامت), also called “Rouhani-Care”,[5] a plan designed to reform Iran's Healthcare system by "granting the public fair access to healthcare, enhance equity, cover health costs and promote the quality of healthcare services that people receive".[6] He resigned on 28 December 2018 in protest to next year's medical budget. His resignation was accepted on 3 January 2019 by Rouhani.

Hashemi is also head of Noor Ophthalmology Complex, which he founded in 1993[7] and a co-founder of "Nooravaran Salamat Charity Foundation" (Persian: بنیاد خیریه نورآوران سلامت),[8] a philanthropic NGO which provides free healthcare and surgeries to people in deprived parts of Iran via mobile clinics.[9]
