Aim of the work: To discuss the obstacles in communication between the patient and medical personnel. Present ways of overcoming them concerning relations with people from different civilization, which is the culture of Islam.

Discussion: The paper is chiefly concerned with the treatment of infertility of patients professing an Islam. Medical procedures from the point of view of Islam are presented, i.e. collection of material for semen analysis, assisted reproduction techniques (ART) including intrauterine insemination or in vitro fertilization. Next, the principles of care for a Muslim woman during physical examination and food supply are presented.
