The French doctor “Kloc Bey” came to Egypt in 1824 AD and was appointed a year later in the Egyptian government. At that time, Muhammad Ali was convinced of the importance of medical services, especially after the “morator” campaign, because the soldiers who died due to illness and wounds were more than those who were killed in battles.
Clot Bey spent most of his life in Egypt, after the mechanism of Muhammad Ali Pasha was entrusted with organizing the health administration of the Egyptian army, and he became chief of the army doctors.
Clot Bey, Muhammad Ali Pasha, convinced that the most important one who brought foreign doctors to the soldiers was to establish a medical school to teach medicine in Egypt and to establish a “medical school” in Abu Zaabal in 1827, taking advantage of the presence of the military hospital and military schools in that suburb, and the beginning was related to the treatment of soldiers.
Clot Bey took over the management of the school and it was the first modern medical school in the Middle East and it had 720 beds. It had a school of pharmacy and then another to graduate midwives.
Clot Bey made great efforts in resisting the plague that struck the country in 1830, and he was concerned with organizing hospitals and granting Muhammad Ali Pasha the title of “Bey” in recognition of his efforts in the medical renaissance he brought about in Egypt,
Clot Bey also enriched the Arab Medical Library with many medical literature – and he was one of the first students to enroll in the medical school in Abu Zaabal, and he was Muhammad Ali Al-Baqli Pasha from the village of Zawyet Al-Bakli, Tala Al-Menoufia Center, 1815, to send Muhammad Ali Pasha to France in November 1832 to master his medical sciences. There, he returned to take up a job at Al-Qasr Al-Aini Hospital after transferring the medical school from Abu Zaabal to Cairo in 1837 AD and rose to become the first president of Al-Qasr Al-Aini Hospital and attained the rank of Pashawia and was martyred in Egypt’s war with Abyssinia during the reign of Khedive Ismail Pasha.
