CWT360° Ep. 22 – Healthcare Disparity Issues Facing the Muslim Community

Join me in welcoming Dr. Ayesha Farooq Malik and Dr. Doured Daghistani as our latest podcast guests! In this episode, we focus on the Muslim community, delving further into my mission of educating ourselves on healthcare disparity issues and solutions. Listen in as the good doctors discuss the unique cultural competency needs when caring for their Muslim patients, from fasting during Ramadan to addressing gender-specific modesty concerns. We also talk about overcoming language barriers and the need to improve health literacy among our elderly, which are actually a lot of the same problems many other minority groups face! And how at the end of the day, it is our duty as an advanced modern society to be respectful and sensitive to those from every culture.
