تحليل مواجهۀ حكومت با بيماري هاي مقاربتي از دورۀ مشروطه تا انقلاب اسلامي (1357-1285) شمسي

One of the important aspects in the social history of any nation is the examination of the level of health and treatment of the people of that society, and the historical reports themselves testify to the spread of an epidemic and sometimes the destruction and death of a large population of people. The state of the health system and the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea and chancre through sexual contact was at a very low level until the late Qajar and early Pahlavi periods, and this was considered an important factor in reducing the birth rate in Iranian society. . Failure to understand this issue had worrying consequences for men and women in the not-so-distant future, as more than half of the people in the cities and villages of Iran were involved in sexually transmitted diseases. Maybe there were people who were not aware of their illness and unintentionally brought it into the family center. Sexually risky behaviors had a very high preva‎lence among famous and homeless women, especially in big cities, and people who had contact with them transmitted the disease to their bodies. With the beginning of the Pahlavi rule in Iran, new steps were taken to modernize personal, social and medical health. One of these steps was to prevent the spread of syphilis and gonorrhea and treat it scientifically in order to control the disease and prevent the increase in the number of infected people in the country. In this regard, the Pahlavi government tried to prevent the spread of the disease by informing and treating sexually transmitted diseases, as well as establishing new laws, so that in the future, a child will not die due to congenital syphilis. On the first side, as a result of paying attention to this issue, activities were carried out in various fields. However, the existence of disobedience and disruption of government officials became an obstacle to the realization of this matter and created limitations. In this thesis, an attempt has been made to analyze the status of syphilis and gonorrhea among the layers of the urban and rural society, as well as the activities of the Pahlavi government in the field of sending doctors and treating people and women, according to archival documents related to sexually transmitted diseases. A celebrity with a sexually transmitted disease should be investigated.
