  • Drivetime Show Podcast 31-07-2024 - Medical Tourism and Jihad
    Join Safeer Zartasht & Farrukh Arshad for Wednesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing “Medical Tourism” and “Jihad”
    Medical Tourism
    Is medical tourism a boon for affordable,
    timely treatment, or does it pose significant
    risks and costs to the NHS due to
    complications and follow-up care? Should it
    be more tightly regulated to ensure patient
    safety and mitigate the financial burden on
    public healthcare systems?
    Jihad
    Jihad is often misunderstood as synonymous
    with violence, when in fact it signifies a
    profound spiritual struggle towards self-
    improvement and justice. Its true essence is
    rooted in striving for peace, compassion, and
    social harmony, reflecting the deeper,
    beautiful values of Islam.
