Introduction: The aims of education in any educational system reflect the essence of that system. Given that aims are in line with the fundamental purposes of education, they can determine the goals and objectives of institutions, curricula, or preparing learners for personal and civic life in the formal education system. The formal education system plays a significant role in the socialization process of individuals on one hand and reflects the values prevailing in society on the other hand. Accordingly, it seems important to address the aims of education, interpretation, and promotion. This study deals with the comparative study of the aims of health higher education systems in four Islamic countries. It is of note that Iran is the only country whose higher education system is separate from the health higher education system. As such, what has been stated as the aim in the higher education systems of other countries can be applied to their health higher education system as well.

Conclusion: Analyzing the aims of education puts different policies adopted for education the planners and provides the possibility to make more effective decisions according to the education system of the country and its needs. This study by examining the aims of the educational system of four Islamic countries, explained and classified the aims governing the health higher education system of the countries.
