ABSTRACT

Instrument & Methods In the Naser al-Din Shah era, some hospitals were established by a foreign advisor ‎and Iranian physicians; but, they were not enough for the public needs with the ‎high number of patients, especially in the case of common communicable ‎diseases. First as an advisor and then as the head of the national health office of ‎Iran, Dr. Klounieh was appointed to provide a comprehensive practical plan for ‎health reform in Iran during three years. He developed a comprehensive report in ‎‎14 sections; in this article, we only presented some reports on the field of sexually ‎transmitted diseases as well as women and children diseases.‎
Conclusion The reports prepared by the agents in each field can always be considered as ‎valuable sources in scientific and historical studies and can giude researchers. ‎Doctor-General Klounieh’s report (Head of national health office of Iran) is one of ‎the best examples. He prepared the comprehensive health status report for Iran in ‎‎1932-1934. ‎
