Afternoon all,
After all the excellent help you gave me when I had a reader looking for information on neurosurgery during the first world war, I have another difficult question, which goes back even further.
I have just had a reader who is interested in Rafida bint Saad al-Aslamia al-Ansaria. It seems that she organised the first Islamic hospital and nursing school.
If anyone can give me any more information about this lady and/or sources of information I would be very grateful.
Many thanks
Humphrey Dunn
