Description

Hippocrates (Kos, 460 BC – Larissa, 377 BC) was an ancient Greek physician and is considered one of the most prominent figures in the history of medicine. He is referred to as the father of modern medicine in recognition of his contribution to the field of medical science as the founder of the Hippocratic School of Medicine. Hippocrates is the founder of rational medicine who managed to rid it of the metaphysical elements, prejudices, prejudices, demonologies and superstitions of the time. She achieved the harmonious combination of anthropocentric science with medical art and philosophical thinking, identifying her professional practice with ethical principles and humanistic values. His pioneering and to a significant degree predictive work influenced most of the modern medical-biological specialties of the western world, which deservedly named him the founder and pillar of Medical Science. In particular, it is credited with largely promoting systematic study and clinical medicine, summarizing medical knowledge and prescribing practical advice to physicians through the Hippocratic Collection (Corpus Hippocraticum) and other works.
