Aurangzeb's belief in divine help for cure of diseases.
Aurangzeb had employed the most learned and experienced physicians for himself, for the members of his palace and for his courtiers. During his reign many hospitals were established in the capital as well as in the other cities. The reign of Aurangzeb was note-worthy for the composition and compilation of medical texts. So we can say that Aurangzeb had a very scientific attitude towards the problems of health. We find, at the same time, that he attached great importance to virtuous deeds and divine help for cure of diseases.
