For instance, medicine blossomed in Sassanids era (226 &#8211; 652 AD). One of the most remarkable cultural and scientific centers of Sassanids era was the city of Gondishapur located in the south-west Iran in Shah-Abad near Susa in Khuzestan Province. The city was rebuilt in the third century AD, whereupon it soon became the most important scientific focal point of the ancient world. Gondishapur Medical School was a renowned cosmopolitan institution and had a crucial impact upon the further development of Islamic medicine. Actually, at this school, the Greek, Persian, and Indian medical heritage was conserved, developed, and it was then transferred to the Islamic world and subsequently to the West. Gondishapur Hospital was also an excellent model for establishment of hospitals especially in the Islamic countries. Presented here is a brief account of the foundation of Gondishapur School of Medicine and its role in promoting medical science in antiquity.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color: #7f8c8d;\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18154434\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Access Full-text<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mohammad-Hossein Azizi Journal: Archives of Iranian MedicineYear: 2008 Abstract: Iran [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"authors":[35],"years":[36],"journals":[235],"keywords":[38],"class_list":["post-147","articles","type-articles","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","authors-mohammad-hossein-azizi","years-36","journals-archives-of-iranian-medicine","keywords-38"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
