In this enlightening episode of Chatting with Slava the Jordanian, Dr. Slava is joined by co-hosts JD Yusef and Dr. Ihab Abdelrehim to take us on a historical journey through the origins of the world’s first hospitals—the Bimaristan—born from the medical brilliance of the Islamic Golden Age.

Far beyond mere places of rest, these institutions were groundbreaking centers of healing, innovation, and compassionate care. Together, the panel explores how these early Islamic medical centers laid the groundwork for many modern medical practices still used today.

This episode highlights:

• The contributions of scientific minds like Al-Zahrawi and Ibn Sina
• Islamic teachings on compassionate medicine, mental health, and cleanliness
• The cultural lens on family care vs. institutionalization of elders
• A call to reflect on humanitarian values and coexistence in healthcare

A compelling blend of cultural wisdom, historical insight, and spiritual grounding—this conversation reclaims a powerful legacy in healing and humanity.
