What is it about?
Our study explores how healthcare providers (HCPs) in Jordan perceive and understand Halal pharmaceuticals. "Halal" refers to products that adhere to Islamic law, crucial for Muslim patients. We found that while HCPs generally have good knowledge, there are gaps, especially in specific aspects like alternative options and alcohol content in medicines. This research highlights the importance of tailored education for HCPs to support culturally sensitive care. By enhancing awareness and knowledge, we aim to improve healthcare delivery for Muslim communities.

Why is it important?
With the global Muslim population increasing, understanding and respecting religious beliefs in healthcare delivery are more critical than ever.
Perspectives
This study underscores the need for ongoing education among healthcare providers about Halal pharmaceuticals. Personally, I believe that bridging these knowledge gaps can lead to more inclusive healthcare practices globally, respecting diverse cultural and religious beliefs in medical settings.
