The world of medicine and health is rapidly evolving due to technological advances such as gene therapy, artificial intelligence (AI), and precision medicine.

However, issues such as health access gaps, high treatment costs, and ethical dilemmas continue to be major challenges in this sector.

From an Islamic perspective, healthcare goes beyond mere physical treatment. Islam emphasizes holistic well-being, encompassing a balance between physical, mental, and spiritual aspects.

Principles such as justice, responsibility, and maqasid shariah guide an ethical and effective approach to healthcare.

Current Issues

Increase in Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs): Such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease are increasingly worrisome.
Mental Health: Cases are increasing due to life stress and lifestyle changes.
Lack of Integration of Islamic Ethics: Modern practices often do not take into account the Islamic ethical perspective in treatment.

Potential Integration of Islamic Perspectives

Maqasid Shariah-Based Medical Bioethics: Emphasis on the preservation of life, health, and the well-being of society.
Community Support through Infaq and Waqf: Providing wider access to health, especially to those in need.
Holistic Care: Combining advanced technology with spiritual values and social responsibility, creating a fair and sustainable health system.
