Islam does not prevent accessing health care at all. This include Alcohol pads (I got many in my home for wounds and cuts).

In Islam there is a rule "necessities allows forbiddens". This include alcohol and mixing (when needed).
In Islam, some new practice of medicine can raise debates and can even be totally rejected. These debates are raised in all cultures however, I name some:

- Renting womb of a woman
- Getting a spem from non-husband
- Unnecessary Cosmetic surgery
- Selling and buying human organs
