Arab Medicine Revisited
Books and studies on display at the 45th Sharjah International Book Fair revisit the history of Arab medicine. They explain that, before the advent of X-rays and medical tests, doctors diagnosed illnesses by examining patients and observing their symptoms, drawing on inherited knowledge and medical experience. The works document the development of anatomy, treatment, surgery and pharmacy, as well as the use of plants, medicines and foods. They also highlight the role of translation and illustrations in transmitting medical knowledge and recording the properties of substances and how they were prepared. These practices are presented as part of the history of medicine and as a subject for study and documentation—not as an alternative to modern, scientifically proven treatments.
