Iran Press/ Iran News: Born 980 CE in a village near Bukhara, then capital of the Iranian Samanid Empire, Avicenna was a great Iranian philosopher, physician and scientist who had some 450 books on a wide range of issues, among them medicine and philosophy.
He was a polymath regarded both in the West and East as one of the most significant philosophers and writers of the Islamic Golden Age.
His most famous works are The Book of Healing – a great philosophical and scientific encyclopedia – and The Canon of Medicine, a summary of all aspects of medicine that became a standard medical text at many medieval universities and remained in use as late as 1650. In his fifty-eighth year, he passed away in June 1037 and was buried in Hamadan midwest of Iran.
Although the vital role of doctors in our lives was all clear to everyone, the outbreak once more has shown us how tremendous the contribution of doctors and medical staff is in extreme circumstances, and how hard the saving of a nation is.
Amid the coronavirus outbreak, physicians and doctors have been recognized for their devotion and efforts this year. They have been working round the clock, fighting at the frontline against the pandemic, and putting their lives in danger.
The medical staff made all the sacrifices to treat the coronavirus patients and stood still such that many of them even lost their lives.
Since the start of the pandemic, over 300 healthcare workers in the country have lost their lives due to the coronavirus infection to curb its outbreak which has changed everybody’s lives in many ways globally.
