CHRONIC DISEASE AND PATIENT CARE

   One demonstration of love for Allah and His Prophet among the health practitioner is to give healthcare services to patients, families, and communities with sincerity. Sincerity brings people together. Islamic principles include compassion and duty toward those in need. Medical expertise has been one of our benefits throughout the growth of Islam as a religion, culture, and civilization. Islamic thinkers such as Ibn Sina considered not only medical knowledge but also Islamic knowledge, which is frequently employed today. Disease, suffering, pain, and death are viewed by Muslim patients as a test from God, and illness is viewed as a trial during which one's sins are expunged. Because health is so important in Islam, taking care of one's health is a religious obligation. God has bestowed one of the greatest blessings on human beings was health. The Prophet Muhammad  said “ There are two blessings which many people do not appreciate: health and leisure” .Indeed, it is reg...

Different people react to the same "danger" in different ways.

  A radiographer is a highly-skilled healthcare professional who uses medical imaging equipment such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasound to provide high-quality diagnostic images.

Failure of communication among healthcare practitioners For various ailments, patients with multiple chronic diseases visited several specialists' clinics as well as the primary care clinic. When it came to prescription medications, there was a lack of communication between specialists and PCPs, as modifications in medication regimens by specialists were frequently not reported to PCPs. PCPs, for example, were not informed of any medication modifications made to patients while they were in the hospital. This increased the danger of drug interactions and duplications, thereby jeopardising patient safety. Patients' living and care arrangements are evolving. Most elderly patients live with their offspring, as is customary in Asian society. Elderly patients with multiple children, on the other hand, are occasionally 'rotated' between the homes of different children. These elderly individuals may subsequently be escorted by several caregivers to various doctors for follow-up...
