The data are collected in help of department of Health in the Ministry of Health and Medical Education. Results Firstly, the Provinces of country have been divided to two clusters based on a cluster validity index. Then, again in order to minimize the length of each cluster, clusters repartitioned to two new clusters based on the validity index. The resulted clusters are homogeneous in structure.
