520 |a Healthcare providers in the Muslim community take their professionas an obligation to serve the patients and community in humanistic way, thatis described by the Islamic Law. The present study focuses on the doctorpatientrelationship in two Muslim countries; Pakistan and Malaysia, toexplore the ethical practices in the health profession. The study comprises ofcross-sectional qualitative research design in which, in-depth interviews wereconducted from female doctors and patients. Data was collected from femalepatients by visiting the clinics and hospitals for their concerns related to health.Sample of ten female patients and ten doctors (five from each country) wereselected for the study. The findings highlighted the moderate relationshipof doctors with patients and vice-versa. In Pakistan, majority of the doctorsmentioned professional behaviors with the patients, as maternal healthcare isvery sensitive and critical in nature. During their medical trainings, althoughthey learnt professional ethics based on Islamic values and integrity howeverpower of doctors over patients has been reported. Interestingly, most womenwho attended the menopause clinic in Malaysia accepted the doctor’sdominance, because doctors talk to them about their problems and the womentend to accept their expertise. In conclusion, doctors in Pakistan and Malaysiahave tried their level best to follow the professional ethics to treat the patientswell. Doctors and patients need to realize each others perimeter in a largersetup and try to establish reciprocal relationship with one another.
