Iraq’s medical history represents the very dawn of organized healthcare, from the ancient Code of Hammurabi to the intellectual peak of the Islamic Golden Age.
The legacy of Al-Razi (Rhazes), the father of pediatrics who led the Great Hospital of Baghdad, and Ibn Sina (Avicenna), whose Canon of Medicine originated in this region to become the world’s most influential medical text, scholars who transformed Baghdad into the medieval premier center for clinical training and scientific discovery.
From the establishment of the world’s first sophisticated hospitals (Bimaristans) in the 9th century to the modern excellence of the Medical City in Baghdad, Iraq has a storied tradition of institutional care.
Pioneers who developed systematic clinical records and the first mobile clinics to serve rural populations, maintained Iraq’s status as a regional leader in medical education and specialized surgery, from the Abbasid Caliphate to the 20th-century golden era of the University of Baghdad.
