Christians did not start the first Hospitals the Greeks did, (that I can find).

I don't think the academic system of ancient Greece in truly comparable to the Universities. We could easily quibble about the specifics such as the scope of study, their exclusivity, their status as public goods, etc. For example, Greek academies were organized around specific teachers, like Pythagorus, Aristotle or Plotinus. Similarly for hospitals. Many countries had infirmities, but Christians made medical care more widely accessible.. That would make it a matter of degree rather than of kind. At least in the modern era, the boom in hospital building was motivated by Christians.

Christians were not the first to abolish slavery, The Secular French Republic did.

I think it goes back much further, at least to the Spanish monarchs. It was a major issue in the 1600's between Spanish and Portuguese colonies in the New World.
