dc.description.abstractThe paper focuses on the immense contribution of Armenian doctors in the development of the field of medicine in Syria. Right after Ottoman Turkey became embroiled in WWI, Ottoman Armenian physicians were conscripted into the Ottoman army. They served not only as doctors but as translators too, since most of them were graduates of European universities. Very few of these doctors survived the war and the Genocide. After the Mudros Armistice, several surviving doctors settled in Syria and joined humanitarian efforts. Some 60 Armenian doctors functioned in Aleppo from the early 1920s up to the end of WWII. Among the demobilized doctors, sergeant Avedis Djebedjian acquired prominence in Aleppo, where he and Dr. Philip Hovnanian established a hospital and contributed to the development of Syrian medicine. Another prominent figure in the field was Dr. Asadur Altounian, who was a champion of the development of medical sciences in the Middle East for over half a century. After establishing himself in Aleppo in the 1890s, Dr. Altounian revolutionised the field by incorporating medical equipment into his practice. He was the first in Syria to order and make use of an X-ray machine from London. With his daughter, Dr. Altounian made great efforts to save orphans and refugees. He was ordered to relocate to Istanbul to give medical support to the Ottoman army. In fact, Djemal Pasha was X-rayed and given medical treatment by Dr. Altounian. In 1927 Altounian established the first nursing school in Aleppo, which had its first graduates in 1931.
