Background and Aim: Given the necessity of planning for the country’s healthcare system to achieve the objectives outlined in upstream policy documents, the use of various fields in this planning is inevitable. One such critical field is the history of medicine. To appropriately and effectively utilize medical history in knowledge production and macro-level, forward-thinking planning for the healthcare system, it is essential to consider multiple imperatives. One such imperative is theorizing in the history of medicine. This necessity has emerged from expanding the boundaries of knowledge in this field and explaining how history can inform future-oriented studies in healthcare management. This development has been shaped by advancements in information dissemination tools and the influence of social media networks in the contemporary world. Methods: Building on the author’s efforts to propose a theory titled "Civilizational Institutions of Healthcare in the Country", this report adopts a history-centered approach to examine the role of influential institutions and organizations in the healthcare sector and their connection to the contemporary era of Iranian history. Ethical Considerations: In this research, honesty and trustworthiness of historical sources and documents have been observed. Results: A preliminary list of the most significant civilizational institutions in Iran’s healthcare system has been compiled, all of which were established or developed during the Qajar era. This list represents the second step in elucidating the aforementioned theory. Conclusion: Iran entered the "contemporary era" of its history during the Qajar period. This transition was not merely nominal; it entailed profound structural transformations in Iranian society, including the establishment of the country’s healthcare system.
