Anachronism in prehistory section

Islam originated in the early 7th century CE. So explain this in pre-history section: "During that process the most primary way of treating a illness was to see the prophet muhammad and few others in the early Islamic community which used prayer to heal your sickness from the deadly diseases" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.30.120.56 (talk) 20:54, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious claim in islamic medicine section

Bolded claim in this paragraph:

Hospitals served as a way to spread these novel and necessary practices, some of which included separation of men and women patients, use of pharmacies for storing and keeping track of medications, keeping of patient records, and personal and institutional sanitation and hygiene.

I'm not sure why this would be considered a "necessary practice". I've tried to do some research, and the results have been mixed (it seems like typically state and religious authorities place importance on it, but experts are more skeptical). As I'm not a medical expert, and removal might be contentious, submitting this here for discussion. Mattva01 (talk) 07:48, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
