The Abbasid Caliphate was a "Golden Age" for Islam in Medicine.

Some of the advances were the differentiation of smallpox and measles and the creation of more comprehensive books about medicine that were referenced for centuries to come, also in Europe, such as The Book of Healing (by Abu Ali ibn Sina)
