Our Inspiration

Rhazes Healthcare is named after Abū Bakr Muhammad Zakariyyā Rāzī, also known by his Latinized name Rhazes (/ˈrɑːziːz/)[3] or Rasis; 854–925 CE. Rhazes was a 10th Century Muslim polymath, physician, alchemist, philosopher, and important figure in the history of medicine. He also wrote on logic, astronomy and grammar. A comprehensive thinker, Razi made fundamental and enduring contributions to various fields, which he recorded in over 200 manuscripts, and is particularly remembered for numerous advances in medicine through his observations and discoveries. An early proponent of experimental medicine, he became a successful doctor, and served as chief physician of Baghdad and Ray hospitals. Through translation, his medical works and ideas became known among medieval European practitioners and profoundly influenced medical education in the Latin West. He is considered by many as “probably the greatest and most original of all the Muslim physicians, and one of the most prolific as an author”. Additionally, he has been described as the father of pediatrics, and a pioneer of obstetrics and ophthalmology.

It is this background of pioneering spirit, innovation and service to humanity that is the guiding principle of Rhazes Healthcare.
