"A summary of the past will have a tremendous effect on the future work in human health, life, and death" (William Henry Welch).
This database helps to find out historical medical landmarks by their geographic location.
It is intended as a co-operative project - a wiki - for people interested in the history of medicine and others health-related topics.
When they travel for personal or professional reasons, through this wikidot project, they can easily locate (potentially, at least!)
significant places to pay a visit to in every Country or City: buildings, monuments, museums, libraries, birthplaces, works of art, etc.
The project is just at the very beginning. Everyone can add new items to “the map”, and complete or correct the existing ones.
Then, go to the Page Tree by Countries.
Why the name Himetop? Because it is an acronym (History of medicine topographical database) but also because it sounds a little like Imhotep, the egyptian "Father of Medicine" (c. 2686-30 B.C.E.).
Himetop is a project promoted by the Institute of Philosophy of Scientific and Technological Activity (FAST), at the Campus Bio-Medico University, in Rome.
