description With the implementation of the principles of the White Revolution, the activities of the Corps of Knowledge, Health, and Development Promotion began to advance these principles. In the late 1940s, Pahlavi II sought to give a global approach to the Revolutionary Guards’ activities with the United Nations’ approval. For this reason, in his speech at Harvard University, he mentioned his idea of forming a Legion of Human Servants. One of the important areas of the Legion’s effort was the activity in medical and health services in various dimensions. The main problem of the current research is to examine the dimensions of the medical and health activities of the Legion of Human Servants as one of the key fields of their diverse undertakings. The current research method is historical and uses a descriptive and analytical approach. This study utilizes documentary and archival sources as its primary method and tool for data collection. This article tries to answer this basic question: what was the performance of the legion in medical and health services? The findings of the research show that despite achieving some successes in this field, the lack of funds and financial problems, and a shortage of volunteers specializing in medical and health matters hindered the realization of the goals of the Legion in the development and provision of free services in the field of medicine and health.
