Ethical Considerations:
In this paper, the originality of the text, honesty and trustworthiness are observed.
From the point of view of foreign travelers, during the Safavid era, public health and the health of citizens were not in a good and favorable condition. From the point of view of health, plague, cholera, fever and syphilis were among the most important diseases of the people in this period. There was no logical and scientific treatment for these diseases. Public health was also at a low level and clinics and facilities and equipment related to it have not been given much attention by the government. The cities and localities were at a low level in terms of health and the waste in them caused air infection and disease.
The existence of numerous diseases and the failure to deal with them was due to the fact that experimental sciences did not benefit from this good fortune and did not reach a high position and public health was also not in a good condition due to the lack of government.
