Culture plays a crucial role in pediatric healthcare, influencing how families perceive illness and make medical decisions. A child’s treatment is not just about medicine—it’s about trust, communication, and respect for diverse perspectives. Our group interviewed a medical specialist from a child surgi-cal department to explore how religious beliefs and cultural interpretations shape patient care. The specialist shared experiences where families hesi-tated to proceed with treatments due to cultural or religious customs, requir-ing thoughtful dialogue and sensitivity. Understanding these perspectives helps medical professionals bridge gaps, build trust, and ensure that every child receives compassionate and effective care. By applying cultural com-petency frameworks, healthcare providers can navigate differences with empathy, fostering stronger relationships between doctors and families. In an increasingly diverse world, true healing happens when medical expertise is paired with cultural awareness, ensuring every child receives care that respects their family’s values and beliefs.
