Hippocrates, often regarded as the "Father of Medicine," contributed to the understanding of Infectious Diseases by emphasizing the importance of environmental factors and lifestyle in their transmission. He observed the correlation between diseases and the surroundings, including water quality and climate, leading to early notions of contagion. While his ideas were rudimentary compared to modern microbiology, Hippocrates laid the groundwork for future studies on the epidemiology of diseases. His approach marked a significant shift towards a more systematic observation of health and disease in relation to the environment.
