Abstract
Background and Aim: The state of the public health system was very deplorable on the eve of Pahlavi's arrival. The modalities of treatment were backward and modern medicine was unable to grow and be effective in the field of health and treatment, especially contagious and sexually transmitted diseases due to lack of necessary infrastructure. The purpose of the present study is to answer the question of what caused the widespread prevalence of these diseases and what the modern Reza Shah government did to prevent and treat sexually transmitted diseases.
Materials and Methods: In response to the above question, this paper examines the policies of Reza Shah's government in the field of health and combating infectious diseasesWith a research method in a library-based manner, relying on first-class sources, namely, documents, magazines, and journals.
Findings: The modernist and westernist approach to sovereignty has brought about changes in the field of health and the fight against sexually transmitted diseases. The government has sought to promote cultural tools such as publishing books and newspapers, conducting educational classes, advertising, film use, as well as policies such as expanding sexually transmitted disease centers, providing free health care, creating health posts, restricting access and enacting barriers, barriers. The prevalence of these diseases.
Conclusion: Despite these efforts, the combination of cultural, political and economic barriers prevented the government from succeeding significantly. The rise of the Reza Shah government in modern medicine without serious infrastructure in the Qajar era made it difficult to provide services to the population, with problems and constraints such as a lack of labor, especially in the provinces, a shortage of medicines and medical centers, and a lack of proper communications. In addition, cultural resistance, along with widespread lack of awareness and illiteracy of people who had difficulty accessing STD education services, were important reasons for the government's failure to control sexually transmitted diseases.
