In the single-party era, the health policy of the Republic was; expanding health care organization by opening hospitals, dispensaries, the diagnostic and treatment centres in every part of the country, increasing the number of other health personnel especially of the doctors, fighting against contagious diseases, making laws of health and social care and bringing health services to villages As a result of the early health policies of the Republican Turkey, a large number of health care providers were opened in Diyarbakır and as well as physicians and veterinarians, a large number of health officers worked in these institutions. In the early years of the Republic, in Diyarbakır as well as all over the country, infectious diseases such as malaria, typhoid fever and leishmaniasis and especially diphtheria, stained huma and smallpox were seen.
