Well done. You have gone a little deeper with some of your examples and you do make a very good point about the different types of healthcare available to people in ancient Egypt. You should be aware that a solid 'B' grade and above answer will have more detail: for example you could give definite examples of some of the factors you have listed - technology: finer metal work meant better instruments for doctors so surgery improved. Religion: helped medicine as priests and doctors learnt a little about basic anatomy when they were preparing a body for mummification, however religion also hindered medicine as doctors were not able to dissect bodies to learn more about them.

You covered all the main facts such as describing briefly how the Egyptians were more advanced than prehistoric peoples; you could go a little deeper however. A good quality answer will both describe and explain. For example where you have identified the changes in the Egyptian period you could explain how these changes helped or hindered (or even both) Egyptian medicine to progress. A good start Joanne.
