Invest in health, Dr M tells Muslims

KUALA LUMPUR: ISLAM believes that because heaven lies under the feet of mothers, they must constantly maintain good health, said Perdana Leadership Foundation Kuala Lumpur honorary president, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Officiating at the High Level Expert Consultation on Islam and Women's Health, the former prime minister said the Muslim community should prioritise women's health as they were still lagging behind other communities. He said Muslims, richer now than at any other time in history, should build hospitals, provide doctors and get medicines for their community. Dr Mahathir called on the Muslim community to produce more women doctors because of the stigma of men examining women. "In some countries the doctor may not see the woman at all and tun to husbands to get the description of the illness. If the doctor wants to conduct any examination, the husband does it on his behalf." Source: Yahoo News Jarumemas: Pelaburan saham emas juga untung ke??
