Sushruta was an Indian physician widely known as the ‘Father of Surgery’
Above photo is the statue of Sushruta at The Royal Australia College of Surgeons. The college trains surgeons & is responsible for maintaining surgical standards in Australia & NZ.
Sushruta was the first documented surgeon in the world and is considered as the Father of Surgery.
But, the textbook of the Kerala State Board mentions that Abu-al-Qasim Al-Zahwari is the ‘Father of Surgery’. He was an Arab physician & chemist who was born almost 1500 years after Sushruta.
This distortion is pathetic!
