Answer:
Two evidences to prove the advancement in science and medicine during the Ayyubid dynasty are:
- The development of the science of Ophthalmology
- The building of different types of hospitals, known as <em>Al-Bimaristan.</em>
Explanation:
The rulers in the Ayyubid dynasty took special interest in the development of scientific knowledge, mostly in the branches of medicine, botany and pharmacology.
Hospitals were built that were well staffed, with each hospital having its own laboratory, dispensary, outdoor clinic, kitchen and bath.
A very important innovation made during the Ayyubid dynasty in their hospitals was a system were patients are only discharged after they were fully cured, this was determined if a patient could eat and digest one whole chicken with bread. They also built military hospitals.
They contributed to the West in important areas of science including raising the standards of medicine, medical education and medical ethics.
The science of ophthalmology was also greatly developed to a very high standard due to research in the study of eye diseases and their treatment done in Hospitals in Cairo and Damascus. The results of this development even had more impact in the west than in the Arab countries.
Scientists and physicians that contributed to the development of science and medicine during the Ayyubid dynasty include Ibn al Baytar, Musa Ibn Maymun, Al-Dakhwar and Muwaffaq al Din Ibn Matran.
