The invention of Medicine in ancient Egypt was developed in the Nile Valley around 3000 B.C. Most of our information on Egyptian Medicine comes from the Ebers and Edwin Smith papyrus. In an autobiography from the Greek historian Herodotus, he stated that doctors in Egypt were very diverse and each could only cure one disease and another doctor a different disease. 

Doctors in Egypt also believed that most illnesses came from supernatural forces such as spirits, demons or unhappy gods. This might have been thought because Ancient Egypt was Polytheistic  like many other civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Persia, Greece, early Italy, etc. This medicine also increased the life expectancy of Egyptians at the time, but it is unsure how much the life expectancy exactly increased. Other than increasing life expectancy, medicine and early surgical practices also led to the knowledge of disorders like dental, gynecological, gastrointestinal, and urinary disorders. Although the knowledge and cures of these disorders were significant Egyptian doctors lacked knowledge of internal anatomy. 

Another fact about their medicine is that it was used to preserve a pharaoh’s body during the mummification process. During the time of the ancient Greeks and Roman empire, Egyptian medicine greatly influenced the Romans' use of Medicine and surgical practices. The origin of their medicine came from herbs growing around the Nile River, using these herbs Egyptians were able to create more effective and advanced medicine. But sometimes this medicine was ineffective or backfired causing horrible side effects to the patient, sometimes even death, nausea, vomiting, etc. Going back to the discovery of disorders, those disorders struck fear into their civilization along the Nile but in the house of life doctors of all sorts were working on different cures for these many disorders giving hope to their people and even Gods like Isis, Sekhmet, and Imhotep. As doctors and physicians researched and discovered more medicines and ways to stay healthy, basic health measures began to rise, things like nutrition and exercise.
