Persian physicians

Persian physicians, active from the 9th to 14th centuries, were among the most influential in medical history. They advanced practices through careful observation, clinical studies, and innovative treatments. Prominent figures like Avicenna and Rhazes authored foundational texts, such as "The Canon of Medicine," which synthesized medical knowledge and served as standard references for centuries. Persian physicians emphasized rational diagnosis, hygiene, and systematic experimentation, contributing significantly to pharmacology, surgery, and medical ethics. Their work laid the groundwork for modern medicine and helped preserve and expand earlier Greek and Roman medical knowledge.
