Abstract
BackgroundandAim: During the Qajar period, cholera spread in the country (Iran) several times. In the lunar year 1322 (AH) and on the eve of the constitutional revolution, it led to the death of many Iranians. Despite the fact that at the end of the 13th century, measures were taken in the field of hygiene and medical education. The high number of people killed in 1322 AH is significant. The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors affecting the spread of this disease and the increase in the number of deaths due to this disease, specifically in the year 1322 AH.
Methods: This research by has been done by searching in electronic sources and relying on library studies in a descriptive analytical method? has been done.
EthicalConsiderations: Scientific honesty and trustworthiness have been fully observed throughout the current research.
Results:1- Quarantines are not properly taken into account and are not implemented. 2- Public health, including urban water sanitation, was not taken into account and the cleaning of waterways was not observed. 3- There were no treatment facilities such as well-equipped medical centers, qualified doctors, patient transport equipment and sufficient medicine. 4- Social distancing was not considered. 5- New treatment methods were not welcomed.
Conclusion: The lack of attention of the Qajar rulers to the issue of health, health and treatment and the inefficiency of the health and health system caused that there were no significant medical facilities in Iran. They also did not pay attention to providing hygiene in the city environment and maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the city environment. On the other hand, in the society, the level of belief, general belief and awareness about treatment, hygiene and health is very weak and ignorance and superstitions are also the reason for this.
