Perioperative medication therapy for Muslim patients in Germany undergoing oncological surgery: a retrospective study
This study underscores the importance of acknowledging Muslim patients' cultural and religious backgrounds in the perioperative setting, as failure to do so may lead healthcare professionals to overlook their potential alternative medication needs, which are essential for providing tailored medical care in modern societies. Integration of diversity-related topics into medical curricula is essential for better preparing physicians for clinical practice and ensuring patient-centered care.
