To gather the required data, the researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 policy specialists and health experts. The interviews were analyzed through coding to according to Strauss and Corbin’s paradigm model. The results of data analysis finally research theoretical saturation as it consisted of 6 main categories and 24 subcategories and 120 concepts and to create a model that identifies the causal, context and intervention and their impact on the central phenomenon that same the implementation of public health policies based on equity.then this model was surveyed by 15 health experts using fuzzy Delphi method with questionnaire.
