Hippocrates (b.460BC) started the foundation of Greek medicine, and Galen (b.129AD) formalized the science of medicine. Most of Galen's works were translated into Arabic in the ninth century in Baghdad. Avicenna(Ibn-Sina, b.980 AD) practised medicine in Persia and wrote the 'Cannon of Medicine" in Arabic, the lingua franca of the Abbasid empire.
