Taroudant - Following in the footsteps of many health institutions in the US that treat poor patients for free, such “Rahma” Clinic in New York, the Red Crescent clinic in Alabama, and the Muslim clinic in Memphis, Makbul Patel, a Muslim dentist, has reportedly opened a free dental clinic to treat people who cannot afford it.
Located in San Bernardino, California, the Shifa Dental Clinic offers medical care to patients, regardless of their social status, ethnicity or religious affiliations.
Makbul Patel, 57 years old, from India, considers his help to those in need as a duty.
“In my faith, medicine is a noble profession,” he said. “So serving the community is one of the noble things to do.”
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Patel has been very active in his community, offering his expertise and promoting the real image of Islam.
He has established the Open Mosque Day event, an event that invites non-Muslims to meet Muslims and learn about Islam.
The US health care system is costly and it is very difficult for the poor and even the middle class to gain access to health care without medical insurance.
