_*Ibn Tulun Mosque*, Cairo, Egypt, was the *first organized hospital that provided free treatments and medicines for patients.*_

_The idea behind *Muslim hospitals* a thousand years ago was to provide a range of facilities from treatments to convalescence, asylum, and retirement homes. They *looked after all kinds of people, rich and poor, because Muslims are honor-bound to provide treatment for the sick, whoever they may be.*_
