The medical aspects of the 1565 Great Siege of Malta.

چکیده
The 1565 Siege of Malta served as a turning point in the westward Ottoman advance. The 4-month long siege was resisted by the indomitable belief of the defenders that their cause was just and holy.

This article reviews the contemporary and historical sources relating to the conflict to identify the medical operational plans used by the military during this historic siege.
