Abstract	Background and aim There have been a growing interest in investigating the effect of stewardship on other functions of rehabilitation service delivery. Effective stewardship of rehabilitation services can ensure that these services are of high quality, accessible, affordable, and sustainable, and can help achieve the goals of universal health coverage. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the policies adopted in the field of rehabilitation services in Iran and in the international arena, and finally to identify policy gaps, areas for improvement, and areas that have been overlooked. Method This research is a policy analysis, carried out through document analysis and Dalglish et al.’s READ approach. Data were analyzed and interpreted using qualitative methodology and directed content analysis. For this purpose, Veillard et al.‘s health system stewardship framework was used to analyze the stewardship of rehabilitation services. The dimensions of the stewardship framework, were: Defining the vision for health and strategies and policies to achieve better health; influencing all sectors and advocating for better health; ensuring good governance in line with prevailing values; ensuring the alignment of system design with health system goals; improving existing legal and regulatory instruments; and compiling, disseminating, and applying information. Scott’s four criteria were used to assess the authenticity, credibility, representativeness, and meaning of the documents. Those that did not meet even one of the Scott’s criteria were excluded from content analysis. Findings A total of 16 documents were identified, all of which met Scott’s criteria and none were excluded from the study. A total of six themes and 56 subthemes were extracted. The contents of all the documents were extracted under six themes of Veillard et al.‘s health system stewardship framework. Overall, the results show that national documents place greater emphasis on the development of preventive healthcare and health promotion. Documents often focus on engaging NGOs and the families of people with disabilities and on intersectoral collaboration for knowledge production and the development of intersectoral knowledge networks. In terms of health system governance in line with prevailing values, documents are mainly focused on health system stewardship by the Ministry of Health and on evidence-based decision-making with the participation of target groups. Also, documents place more emphasis on upgrading the national infrastructure and increasing access to rehabilitation services. Conclusion In some areas of rehabilitation services, there is a gap between national documents, which reflects differences in priorities, approaches, resources, and instruments available to strengthen rehabilitation services at the national and international levels.
