Medicine has evolved as a caring vocation diffusing across the civilisations over a long period of time, in due course becoming the greatest benefit to Mankind. The Silk Road played rather significant role in the spread and progress of medicine including its practice, research, teaching and training in the medical schools and hospitals may be seen even today. In this background the concept of globalisation is not new, it was started 1000s of years ago with the network of trade routes of the Silk Road. Despite the political turmoil and wars the trade among nations flourished providing opportunities for cultural exchanges and the Silk Road was the major route such exchanges took place among various civilisations. The scholarly travellers helped to disseminate the knowledge by translating the manuscripts and transferring books during their travels.
