Why Cyrus Medical?

Because knowledge should open doors, not create barriers.

The inspiration

Cyrus the Great founded the Achaemenid Persian Empire in the sixth century BCE. Babylonian inscriptions, the Hebrew Bible and Greek historians all remember him as a ruler who let conquered peoples keep their customs and their gods. Historians still debate how much of that reputation was policy and how much persuasion, but it has lasted two and a half thousand years as a starting point for thinking about openness, dignity and living alongside different perspectives.

The mission

We think medical education should share those aspirations.

Healthcare knowledge should be shared, curiosity encouraged, and the chance to learn open to everyone, not decided by who can afford another subscription.

Cyrus Medical exists to help make that possible: free, carefully made resources for medical and healthcare students, built on the belief that better access to knowledge helps shape better healthcare.

Knowledge belongs in the hands of those who will use it to help others.

A note on history: the Cyrus Cylinder in the British Museum is a Babylonian royal inscription, not a charter of human rights, and we don't claim otherwise. Our emblem comes from the garden plan at Pasargadae, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
