Features of bimaristans

As hospitals developed during the Islamic civilization, specific characteristics were attained.{{huh|date=February 2018}} Bimaristans were secular. They served all people regardless of their race, religion, citizenship, or gender.[1] The Waqf documents stated nobody was ever to be turned away.[2] The ultimate goal of all physicians and hospital staff was to work together to help the well-being of their patients.[2] There was no time limit a patient could spend as an inpatient;[4] the Waqf documents stated the hospital was required to keep all patients until they were fully recovered.[1] Men and women were admitted to separate but equally equipped wards.[1][2] The separate wards were further divided into mental disease, contagious disease, non-contagious disease, surgery, medicine, and eye disease.[2][3] Patients were attended to by same sex nurses and staff.[3] Each hospital contained a lecture hall, kitchen, pharmacy, library, mosque and occasionally a chapel for Christian patients.[3][4] Recreational materials and musicians were often employed to comfort and cheer patients up.[3]

The hospital was not just a place to treat patients, it also served as a medical school to educate and train students.[2] Basic science preparation was learned through private tutors, self-study and lectures. Islamic hospitals were the first to keep written records of patients and their medical treatment.[2] Students were responsible in keeping these patient records, which were later edited by doctors and referenced in future treatments.[3]

During this era, physician licensure became mandatory in the Abbasid Caliphate.[3] In 931 AD, Caliph Al-Muqtadir learned of the death of one of his subjects as a result of a physician's error.[4] He immediately ordered his muhtasib Sinan ibn Thabit to examine and prevent doctors from practicing until they passed an examination.[3][4] From this time on, licensing exams were required and only qualified physicians were allowed to practice medicine.[3][4]
