"Pada saat Mamun sekolah kedokteran sangat aktif di Baghdad. Rumah sakit umum gratis pertama dibuka di Baghdad selama Kekhalifahan Haroon-ar-Rashid. Ketika sistem berkembang, dokter dan ahli bedah ditunjuk yang memberikan ceramah kepada mahasiswa kedokteran dan mengeluarkan ijazah kepada mereka yang dianggap memenuhi syarat untuk praktik. Rumah sakit pertama di Mesir dibuka pada 872 M dan setelah itu rumah sakit umum bermunculan di seluruh kekaisaran dari Spanyol dan Maghrib ke Persia."

By Mamun's time medical schools were extremely active in Baghdad. The first free public hospital was opened in Baghdad during the Caliphate of Haroon-ar-Rashid. As the system developed, physicians and surgeons were appointed who gave lectures to medical students and issued diplomas to those who were considered qualified to practice. The first hospital in Egypt was opened in 872 AD and thereafter public hospitals sprang up all over the empire from Spain and the Maghrib to Persia.
