The medical profession had its own code of conduct even in ancient times, and these original codes were primarily based on humanitarian principles. They have been followed from ancient times to the present, protecting the interests of patients. It can be said that if our society lacks standardized constraints, it cannot progress, just as a society without doctors cannot function.

In the following text, you will explore the five thousand-year history of medicine, from ancient Egypt to the highly advanced technology of today—a history that has been both arduous and glorious. Let us together remember the predecessors who made great contributions to the advancement of medicine!
