Iran has a rich civilization and a long history during which medical science flourished at specific periods. For instance, medicine blossomed in Sassanids era (226 - 652 AD). One of the most remarkable cultural and scientific centers of Sassanids era was the city of Gondishapur located in the south-west Iran in Shah-Abad near Susa in Khuzestan Province. The city was rebuilt in the third century AD, whereupon it soon became the most important scientific focal point of the ancient world. Gondishapur Medical School was a renowned cosmopolitan institution and had a crucial impact upon the further development of Islamic medicine. Actually, at this school, the Greek, Persian, and Indian medical heritage was conserved, developed, and it was then transferred to the Islamic world and subsequently to the West. Gondishapur Hospital was also an excellent model for establishment of hospitals especially in the Islamic countries. Presented here is a brief account of the foundation of Gondishapur School of Medicine and its role in promoting medical science in antiquity.
伊朗拥有丰富的文明和悠久的历史，在此期间医学在特定时期蓬勃发展。例如，医学在萨珊王朝时期（公元226年 - 652年）繁荣昌盛。萨珊王朝时期最著名的文化和科学中心之一是位于伊朗西南部胡齐斯坦省苏萨附近沙阿阿巴德的贡迪沙普尔城。这座城市于公元三世纪重建，随后很快成为古代世界最重要的科学焦点。贡迪沙普尔医学院是一所著名的国际机构，对伊斯兰医学的进一步发展产生了至关重要的影响。实际上，在这所学校里，希腊、波斯和印度的医学遗产得到了保存、发展，然后被传播到伊斯兰世界，随后又传播到西方。贡迪沙普尔医院也是建立医院的优秀典范，尤其是在伊斯兰国家。这里简要介绍贡迪沙普尔医学院的创立及其在古代促进医学科学发展中所起的作用。
