    AbstractIn line with the commemoration of the scientists who played a significant role in advancing knowledge and providing services to the country, it is imperative to publish their biographies so that their lives and achievements are recorded in the history of the country and serve as an example for future generations. Dr. Bijan Sadrizadeh, a physician and a public health specialist, undertook many valuable activities, particularly in the field of public health in Iran and the world during more than 60 years of great services, including the promotion of public health in the Islamic Republic of Iran, the development of I.R. Iran's international collaborations in the field of public health, and the development of research programs in the field of neglected tropical diseases and the eradication of polio in the world. He served the country in many high-level executive capacities, including three periods as deputy Minister of Health. In addition to several years of full-time employment in the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Sadrizadeh also served on the WHO Executive Board and was a member of numerous scientific and advisory committees. In reviewing his life, great determination, devotion, believing in primary health care and universal health coverage and a deep sense of responsibility are visible and can be an inspiration and a model for all.© 2023 The Author(s).
