Egyptian and Filipino Heritage and Health Beliefs
Egyptian and Filipino healthcare beliefs, rooted in cultural and religious traditions, influence their approach to medical services. Both groups share beliefs in divine will and the “evil eye” as illness causes, often delaying evidence-based treatment. Understanding these cultural nuances is essential for healthcare providers to deliver culturally competent care, enhance treatment adherence, and improve patient outcomes.
