Abstract
Background and Aim: Following the formation of the Ilkhanid dynasty, Tabriz was noticed due to its suitable climate and location and with the growth of urbanization; measures were taken to ensure the residents’ health and treatment. The presence of physicians from all over the Mongols in the court as well as Rab'-e Rashidi and the absence of natural disasters and catastrophes played a crucial role in this trend. The current paper seeks to identify health and treatment status of Tabriz during the Ilkhanid dynasty.
Methods: This research is based on the descriptive-analytical method. The data was collected in the form of documentary using the first-hand sources particularly Khwaja Rashid al-Din Fazlullah’s works. It has studied the evolutionary course of health and treatment in Tabriz from the formation of the Ilkhanid dynasty to its decline.
Ethical Considerations: In this research, the principle of honesty and trustworthiness was observed.
Results: The selection of Tabriz as the capital of Ilkhanid led to the development of the city and urbanization and the support measures and urban health in various fields. Despite some negative effects of the presence of the Mongols, especially the spread of superstitions, some Ilkhanids such as Ghazan and a few bureaucrats in the form of Abwab al-Albar, established the hospitals and ancillary facilities. Also the presence of doctors from different nations and medical education improved the health situation.
Conclusion: The findings indicate relative attention to health following the growth of urbanization. Although the absence of natural disasters and infectious diseases, the establishment of hospitals and the presence of various physicians and medical education had a positive effect on this process, but under the influence of political and social issues, it could not have a long-term effect.
