Abstract: (2999 Views) |
One of the most important institutions of Muslim government was the Hesbeh institution to oversee the flow of social affairs in the course of Islamic teaching. Preventing misconduct and monitoring how laws are properly implemented in the professions can be described as the duties of Hesbeh institution and a mohtaseb. Other duties of this organization and a mohtaseb have been to oversee the work of physicians, veterinarians, ophthalmologists, and pharmacists. The Hesbeh institution had the task of verifying the adequacy of the physicians and monitoring their proper functioning. This study aims to determine how and by what principles the Hesbeh institution examined physicians' qualifications and obliged them to comply with the medical laws and ethics. This monitoring was performed by specialist physicians in each discipline and a test was performed to determine their competence. Doctor's oaths had been the most important way to test the doctors.
