49% think that family doctors should take the religious and cultural notions of their patients into account. This according to a study which would be presented Tuesday by research institute NIVEL.
The study was held after the commotion last year when a Muslim couple refused the help of a male gynecologist. [ed. I don't know of any story where a woman refused such help.]
Religious and cultural notions can also play a role in the question of whether people want to be vacinnated or whether they'll accept blood transfusions. Cultural traditions often play a role in the therapy-trust of a patient.
27% thought that doctors should not take their patients religious or cultural background into account.
