Saqqara

Saqqara is about 20 miles south of present-day Cairo and is famous for being the home of the Step Pyramid of Djoser, one of the oldest surviving buildings in the world. But five millennia ago, it was the necropolis of the ancient Egyptian city of Memphis.

One of the tombs at the famous archaeological site is said to belong to Merit Ptah (Beloved of Ptah), and hieroglyphs on the tomb describe her as the Chief Physician, the first female doctor known by name. She lived about 2,700 BC, and that’s all we know about her career. But the existence of her tomb and the inscription on it tell us it was possible for women to hold high-status medical roles in Ancient Egypt. Although some argue against the existence of Merit Ptah and argue that what little is known of her mirrors the story of another female (possible) physician who lived two hundred years after her, named Peseshet, whose title was "lady overseer of the female physicians,".

(Side note the two links are very interesting I highly suggest you give them a read for and against the above)
