Abstract
Background and Aim: Newspaper is one of the tools of knowledge transfer, the result of modernity and one of the constitutional achievements. Golgoun as one of the published local newspapers in Hamedan played a significant role in increasing the knowledge of all citizens during the first Pahlavi period. Health and medical issues were the focus of this newspaper. The purpose of this article is to review the health and medical news and reports published in this newspaper to know the situation in Hamedan at that time.
Methods: This research analyzed the data and explained the findings in a library and descriptive-analytical way. Its main source is Golgoun newspaper and its news and reports. Other sources that are related to this research and the health status of Hamedan in the first Pahlavi period have also been used.
Ethical Considerations: In this study, the principles of trustworthiness and honesty have been observed.
Results: Among the health and medical content Published in Golgoun newspaper are the advice to follow health considerations, introducing diseases and their treatment methods and knowing the types of medicines and famous doctors of Hamedan. The fight against superstitions and illegal usage was considered as the most important mission of this newspaper, which was successful to some extent.
Conclusion: When the lack of health and medical facilities was felt not only in Hamedan, but in the whole country, Golgoun was able to inform the readers about the importance of health in improving nations and the problems of not paying attention to it by publishing numerous articles and provide valuable information to the audiences. The publication of these materials was its operators’ sensitivity and concern towards the health and medicine and in line of the commitment to the principle of "prevention is better than cure".
