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

    Some Muslims might feel uncomfortable or does not want a male doctor to see a female patient. But, this is not common and it is because of ignorance in Islam.

    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:

    - Mercy Killing

    - Renting womb of a woman

    - Getting a spem from non-husband

    - Unnecessary Cosmetic surgery

    - Selling and buying human organs

    Source(s): I am a Muslim from Saudi, and I find the first two post are not in any way part of our practices. They are stereotyping or based on small community in certain geographical area. Cannot be related to Muslims or Islam.
