Khuzestan was considered one of the country's important economic regions between 1925 and 1941. Accordingly, preventing infectious diseases from entering the country from the borders made it more necessary to address the health situation in this region. This research used a historical method and descriptive-analytical approach library and documentary studies, to examine the health and treatment situation in Khuzestan and the sub-set of organizations responsible for health and treatment under the General Health Administration in this region during the first Pahlavi period. The research results indicate that Khuzestan's border location, city pollution, and bad weather were pathogenic factors in Khuzestan. Also, with the start of the oil company's work and the increase in foreign travel and immigration to Khuzestan, the risk of infectious diseases in this area increased. As a result, this area needed a lot of healthcare services. However, by examining the healthcare services of the first Pahlavi period in Khuzestan, it is clear that while the services provided by the Health Department in the area of infectious disease control were relatively good, the number of clinics in Khuzestan was not adequate, considering its population. The cleaning and improvement of the city, which was the municipality's responsibility, was also inadequate.
