The early efforts for promotion of public health measures and prevention of fatal epidemic diseases in Iran date back to the second half of the 19th century. Based on historical records, the informal protosanitary councils had existed since the early 1850s, but a new formal health institution called "Sanitary Council", or "Majles-e Hefz al-Sehheh" was founded in 1881. Then, it was reestablished as a permanent council in 1904. The Sanitary Council was the only major public health authority under the auspices of "Ministry of the Interior" up to 1920. Then the Ministry of Health and Charity Affairs or "Vezarat-e Sehhyeh va Omuor-e Kheiryyeh" was founded in 1920, but it was dissolved in 1921. Between 1921 and 1941, there was no ministry of public health in Iran and during this period, the public health and medical affairs were mananged by the Public Health Administration known as Sehhyeh Koll-e Mamlekati that was established in 1926 and finally in 1941, the Ministry of Health ( Vezarat-e Behdari) was founded. Presented here, is the historical backgrounds of the foundation of the Ministry of Health in Iran, as well as the list of the Health Ministers between 1941 and 1979.
伊朗早期促进公共卫生措施和预防致命流行病的努力可追溯到19世纪下半叶。根据历史记录，非正式的原卫生委员会自19世纪50年代初就已存在，但一个名为“卫生委员会”或“Majles-e Hefz al-Sehheh”的新的正式卫生机构于1881年成立。然后，它在1904年被重新设立为一个常设委员会。直到1920年，卫生委员会一直是在内政部主持下的唯一主要公共卫生当局。1920年成立了卫生与慈善事务部或“Vezarat-e Sehhyeh va Omuor-e Kheiryyeh”，但它在1921年被解散。1921年至1941年期间，伊朗没有公共卫生部，在此期间，公共卫生和医疗事务由1926年成立的名为Sehhyeh Koll-e Mamlekati的公共卫生管理部门管理，最终在1941年，卫生部（Vezarat-e Behdari）成立。这里介绍的是伊朗卫生部成立的历史背景，以及1941年至1979年期间的卫生部长名单。
