Virdimura (fl. 1376 ) was a Sicilian Jewish doctor, the first woman officially certified to practice medicine in Sicily.[1]
Biography [ edit ]
Though few biographical details of Virdimura are known, she was a Jewish woman living in Catania , Sicily, in the 14th century.[2] [3]
She was trained in the practice of Jewish medicine , perhaps by her husband, Pasquale de Medico of Catania, who was also thought to be a physician.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
She obtained a royal license to practice medicine across the island of Sicily on November 7, 1376, with the approval of the doctors of King Frederick 's royal court.[8] [9] [6] [10] [11]
With this, she became the first woman physician with this designation on the island. She subsequently traveled throughout Sicily treating patients.[2]
Virdimura particularly focused on treating poor and disabled patients, charging them less for her services than her male contemporaries.[2] [4] [12] gentiles .[6] [13]
The International Virdimura Award, which recognizes doctors with a humanitarian mission, is named for her.[1]
A square in Catania, in the San Giovanni Galermo [it district, was also named in her honor in 2020.[14]
