Development of health until today

There were, of course, differences between treatment and education before Christ or in the 19th and 20th centuries. From the earliest history of mankind until today, education and health have been favorite subjects. People have succeeded in spreading treatments to different countries by developing various methods, migrating, and giving training. These expansions and the passing of time have led to the evolution of health education.

Although in ancient times the so-called ‘healing arts’ and the way of achieving health by using more abstract methods in treatment were used, in the 19th and 20th centuries, theoretical and clinical findings in treatments were closely linked to each other. In antiquity, medicine lost its reliability and usefulness as other beliefs far from science entered medicine. In contrast, the medicine we see in the 19th and 20th centuries is based entirely on mathematical and experimental proofs. Today's health care involves only science, separated from religion.

There were not many methods to learn about health conditions or treatment methods in prehistoric times and to transfer them to the next generation, but hieroglyphic writings, paintings, and human remains have helped us learn the methods of that period. However, thanks to the written language, printing press, and facilities developed in the 19th century, these cave drawings evolved into bound books, experiments, and clinics. Many instructive artifacts have been created over the centuries revolving around healing and medicinal activities. The Iranian physician Rhazes, an important figure in Arab medicine at that time, wrote in detail about the methods of treatment in his book Al-tibb al-Mansuri, and then these books were replaced by textbooks.

At the end of the first millennium, the first medical school was founded in Salerno, southern Italy, and remained in operation until 1812. Over the centuries, the guidance provided by these many artifacts reached the general population and social groups. In the 19th century, the great development of medicine was characterized by the establishment of medical facilities, clinics, medical institutions, and associations.

Finally, modern medicine brings new approaches, treatments, and preventive measures to previously incurable diseases. However, the modern era also brings new epidemic diseases. The 20th century has deepened scientific knowledge in the fields of allergy, gerontology, psychiatry, neurology, oncology, and others. Although it has brought negative elements with the ongoing evolution of health and health education, its benefits are undeniable.
