Avicenna's Millennium

This stamp commemorates the millennium of the birth of Avicenna (Ibn Sina), philosopher and doctor whose influence profoundly marked Tunisian and world medicine. The illustration, with surgical precision, shows the scientist manipulating laboratory instruments, evoking scientific rigor and experimentation. Although of Persian origin, Avicenna is celebrated here as a symbol of the golden age of Arab sciences, of which Tunisia was a major center, notably in Kairouan. This stamp testifies to modern Tunisia's attachment to scientific research and humanist medical heritage.
