Hippocrates is known as the Father of Medicine. He was an ancient Greek physician whose contributions significantly shaped the practice of medicine. Lived around 460 to 370 BC, Hippocrates is best known for the Hippocratic Corpus, a collection of texts attributed to him and his followers dealing with medical ethics, diagnosis, and treatment. His emphasis on systematic observation and clinical documentation laid the groundwork for modern medicine. The Hippocratic Oath, a code of ethics for physicians, continues to be referenced in medical traditions today, exemplifying his lasting influence on healthcare practices.
