◉ In the Middle Ages (467 BCE to AD 1450), what was the basis for

, Answer: Christian concepts of charity and the sanctity of human life
The Middle Ages saw the Christian church as the central figure in the
organization and management of health care, and its concepts of
charity and sanctity of human life were influential in the practice of
caring for the sick. Beginning in prehistoric times, there was a belief
that illness was a direct outcome of displeasing the gods, which gave
rise to the practice of making offerings to the gods. In many cultures,
it is still believed that illness is related to punishment from the
god(s). The concept of patient-centered care and use of the scientific
method of problem solving originated with the Greeks (1500 to 100
BCE). The Romans (27 BCE to AD 476) are credited with the
concepts of good hygiene and sanitation being vital to good health.
