Ramadan Health and Spirituality Guide

f117a

I am very pleased to support the development of the Ramadan Health and Spirituality Guide, which has been independently produced by Communities in Action in order to provide information and advice on maximising health gain during the Muslim fast.

The Department of Health is committed to responding to the needs and preferences of all sections of our diverse population and this guide is one of a range of activities we have supported in order to promote public health amongst all sections of the population. There is considerable evidence to suggest that large sections within Muslim communities experience significant health inequalities, although this is not uniform across all Muslim communities or all aspects of health. In particular, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities tend to suffer poorer health than the general population. We hope that this guide, alongside the Department’s targeted campaigns such as our Asian tobacco helpline, will help to address these inequalities. As part of our commitment to creating a patient-led NHS, the Department of Health and the NHS will continue to work in partnership with community-based organisations to meet the needs of all communities, including faith communities, and to promote better health for all.
