A minimum level of cultural awareness is a necessary
prerequisite for the delivery of care that is culturally sensitive. In this paper we simplify and highlight certain key teachings in Islamic
medical ethics and explore their applications. We hope that the
insights gained will aid clinicians to better understand their Muslim
patients and deliver care that pays due respect to their beliefs.
Keywords: medical ethics; Islam
