Policy Statement of a 13th Century Hospital in cairo
by Meam Wye
Following is the text from the policy statement of the grand 8000 bed Mansuri Hospital built in Cairo, Egypt in 1248 AD.‘The hospital shall keep all patients, men and women until they are completely recovered. All costs are to be borne by the hospital whether the people come from afar or near, whether they are residents or foreigners,strong or weak, low or high, rich or poor, employed or unemployed, blind or signed, physically or mentally ill, learned or illiterate. There are no conditions of consideration and payment; none is objected to or even indirectly hinted at for non-payment. The entire service is through the magnificence of Allah, the generous one.’
