In this paper, we investigate the integrability of the generalized Burgers-Huxley equation. Firstly, we transform the equation into a planar dynamical system using the traveling wave transformation. Furthermore, we determine the type of each singular point and study their integrability. By computing the saddle values and singular point quantities, we finally derive the integrability conditions of the system.
