Answer 1

In ancient Rome, little medical advancement was made with the exception of:

• setting up public hospitals
• establish better drainage systems

These options reflect some of the infrastructure and public health improvements that were notable in ancient Roman society. While pharmacies were not a significant aspect of Roman medicine as we understand them today, public hospitals (or similar institutions) and improved sanitation systems did contribute to overall health outcomes in the Roman Empire. The practice of observation, however, was not ignored; it was actually a part of their medical practices but was often not as advanced as it is in modern medicine.
