The Al-'Adudi Hospital was established during the era of organized hospitals developed in medieval Islamic culture.[1] Some of these early hospitals were located in Baghdad and among those was the bimaristan Al-'Adudi.[2] The hospital came to be when King of the Buyid Dynasty, 'Adud al-Dawla, decided to construct the hospital a few years before he died.[3][2] Al-'Adudi was considered one of the most innovative and modern hospitals of the medieval Islamic time period.[4] Amongst well-known physicians of the time period, this hospital was known as an institution for learning and practicing medicine.
