There is a amazing number of world-class doctors working at Padua University\u2019s medical clinics. All of them familiar with the latest surgical techniques, they often present papers at international conferences and may even be holders of medical patents themselves.

It was here that, in the period from the sixteenth to the eigtheenth century, figures such as Andrea Vesalius<\/strong>, Gabriele Falloppio<\/strong>, William Harvey<\/strong> (the discoverer of blood circulation) and Giovan Battista Morgagni<\/strong> (the founding father of pathological anatomy), all contributed to establishing medicine as a scientific discipline. <\/span><\/p>\n

There then followed an unbroken line of scientific luminaries, who achieved another memorable \u2018first\u2019 in 1985, when Vincenzo Gallucci<\/strong> \u2013 then at the peak of a career that had also seen a period of prestigious work in the USA (1964-1969) \u2013 performed Italy\u2019s first heart transplant. The heart of a eighteen-year-old from Verona was transplanted into the chest of a carpenter, Ilario Lazzari, from the small town of Fontaniva; the recipient would then live on until 1992. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thus Padua played its part in the field of heart transplant surgery, which had begun with the South African surgeon Christiaan Bernard<\/strong> in 1969.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Padua University can also boast the first permanent anatomy theatre in the world<\/strong>. Dating from 1594, this was designed by Girolamo Fabrici d\u2019Acquapendente<\/strong> \u2013 an anatomist, surgeon, physiologist, and personal doctor to Galileo<\/strong> <\/a>\u2013 who taught at the university for fifty years. The theatre is still perfectly intact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving on to the present, one cannot fail to note the remarkable trust that patients from around Italy \u2013 and abroad \u2013 have in the hospitals of Padua. The fact that so many are willing to undertake long journeys to be come here is a sure sign of their confidence in the treatment they receive.<\/span><\/p>\n
