Introduction: 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.
