[3][2] Al-'Adudi was considered one of the most innovative and modern hospitals of the medieval Islamic time period.

[3] Before the construction of the building and its quarters, well-known physician, al-Razi, was chosen to decide the ideal location for Al-'Adudi.

For this reason, it had previously been chosen as the location of the Khuld Palace, built in the 8th century by Caliph al-Mansur.

[2] Males and females were treated at the hospital by expert physicians of different areas of medicine that created set plans for patients.

[7] A traveler named, Ibn Jubayr, is said to have described the hospital to be made of many quarters that had large rooms for different purposes.

[9][7] He gave the physician, Sinan bin Thabit, the job to assign medical officers frequent visits to the prisons.

[7] The education of medicine became significant during the period of hospitals like Al-'Adudi for the goal of having students move beyond the classroom.

[4] There were numerous experts of medicine throughout the existence of Al-'Adudi that helped the hospital from the beginning of its founding until the end.

[10] He studied under Ibn Hibat Allah and continued his medical career by contributing to the field with works such as Taqwim al-Abdan fi Tadbir al-Insan (The Almanac of Bodily Parts for the Treatment of People).

[10] Ibn al-Tilmidh also contributed to Al-'Adudi during the early part of the 12th century in which he served as the chief of the hospital.
