Information & Methods In the Qajar era, some hospitals were established with personal funds for the ‎welfare of people, one of which was Vaziri Hospital.

Conclusion Vaziri Hospital was founded by Sheikh Hadi Najm Abadi, using the endowments of ‎Mirza Isa Vazir; during 97 years (from 1897 to 1994), thousands of patients ‎benefited from its health care. Mirza Isa, known as "Vazir," after being affected by ‎cholera in 1889, decided to establish a hospital to improve the health and fight ‎against diseases, and before his death, he made a will to Sheikh Hadi Njambaladi ‎to establish a hospital by one-third of his property, but due to disputes occurred ‎among the heirs of Mirza Isa, this action did not become practical until 1894. In ‎the middle of 1894, Sheikh Hadi resolved the disputes and chose a land of 4000 ‎square meters in the current location of Vaziri Hospital according to the will to ‎establish the hospital; the construction continued until 1897.‎
