Iraq has undergone so many events throughout its history on various aspects of life .
The academic studies and historical writings have covered much of the events. In spite of that , there is a need to cover events which have not been studied because of many reasons .One of these reasons is the absence of the historical subject matter. Furthermore there are historical subjects which scarcely attract the researchers for a number of reasons . As for writing about the health situations in Iraq , including this research , it is considered a very difficult task because information about such topics are very rare and hard to be found.
The researcher found documents in the archives of the Ministry of the Interior in Kasra and Atash area. The discovery of these documents allowed us to see a painful reality to the dark and hidden side of our contemporary social history. The research deals with the cautions taken by A'amara governate to control plague and ty-phoid and to avoid its expansion to the neighbouring areas , since these two epidemic diseases caused many tragedies in Iraq. These affected areas were isolated and kept in quarantine. Furthermore police stations were established and the Iraqi-Irani borders were closed in Ali Algharbee District. Police patrols were also set on the Iraqi-Irani borders. In addition to the above, British and Iraqi military marine patrols were supervising the river traffic. More than three thousand citizens were given vaccinations. By these proceedings the two epidemic diseases were limited and prevented from spreading to the neighbouring areas .
