The Right to the Safety of Life
Immediately after the verse of the Holy Quran which
has been mentioned in connection with the right to life,
God has said:
"And whoever saves a life it is as though he had
saved the lives of all mankind" (5:32).
The first and the foremost basic right is the right to live and
respect human life. The Holy Quran lays down:
Whosoever kills a human being without (any reason like) man
slaughter, or corruption on earth, it is as though he had killed all
mankind ... (5:32)

11. Culture, Health and society
There can be several forms of saving man from death. A man
may be ill or wounded, irrespective of his nationality, race or
colour. If you know that he is in need of your help, then it is your
duty that you should arrange for his treatment for disease or
wound. If he is dying of starvation, then it is your duty to feed
him so that he can ward off death. If he is drowning or his life is
at stake, then it is your duty to save him.
Respect for the Chastity of Women.

Care is organized around the person receiving care, and care

care, ensuring that the person’s needs and preferences are met.
(Elizabeth, 2013)
The patients are known as persons in context of their own social
worlds, listened to, informed, respected, and involved in their
care—and their wishes are honored during their health care
journey.
(Epstein, & Street, 2011).

15. Culture, Health and society
“It is individualized nursing care. It is predicated on the reality of
common experience: every man is a unique individual, and as
such requires a unique constellation of skills, techniques, and
ideas designed specially for him” (Levine,1973, p.23).
A patient -centered model of care requires a nurse to work with
an individual’s beliefs, values, wants, needs, and desires.
(McCormack, 2003).
PCC affects patients’ perception of the level of satisfaction and
quality of nursing care
