Taifa of Zaragoza (Age of Charlemagne) Bimaristan Level 1

Bimaristan

The new "medicine" is practiced here, so the sick may be healed.

'Bimaristan' comes from the Persian 'bimar', meaning disease and 'stan' meaning 'place' - so, literally, 'place of disease'. Bimaristan were hospitals - the sick being admitted and given treatment, and the staff adhering to a strict mantra that the welfare of the patient was paramount - essentially a form of Hippocratic oath. Wherever possible, the bimaristan were built over hills or by rivers, to provide an ample water supply for the maintenance of hygienic conditions. The hospitals were also sometimes constructed for specific medical purposes - there is textual evidence of bimaristans for the mentally ill, with isolated wards and barred windows. There were also specific buildings for patients with leprosy, so as to isolate those with infectious diseases. The bimaristan built upon the prodigious medical legacy left by the Sassanids in such institutions as the Academy of Gondishapur, often believed to be the first hospital ever built.
