The role of the Muslimah healthcare professionals

Abstract

The number of healthcare professionals, who are Muslimah have been gradually increasing in the recent past despite the negative societal perception about their roles. This is coming in the background of the pivotal role played by Muslim scientists throughout history of modern medicine. Of note are Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd and Rufaida Al-Aslamia (the first Nurse, Social Worker, Nurse Specialist Surgeon, etc.).
