Background: Malpractice is characterized as "careless, unsuitable, or illegal activity while performing a professional task" by Oxford Learner's Dictionaries (1). Prevalence of alternate healers is a problem of nearly all less economically underdeveloped countries. Pakistan is also one of the victims of malpractice. Factors that contribute to malpractice are proximity, affordable fee, availability, family pressure, and the strong opinion of the community. The objective of the study was to analyze why people choose alternate healers and to evaluate the misconception and myths regarding registered medical practitioners. Methods: A Descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample size of 319 with participants from Gujranwala’s rural and urban areas in 2021. Both the male and female population of Gujranwala was included. Data was entered and analyzed in SPSS version 21. Results: The socio-economic and demographic variables considerably effect the choice of health care provider. More people in rural areas visit alternate healers as compared to urban areas. Lack of information and misconceptions about physicians were also the factors effecting health seeking behavior of people. Conclusion: There is a potential to improve the health-seeking behavior and utilization of health facilities by addressing the demand side (community) factors i.e., socio-economic factors, cultural beliefs, by shutting down all unlicensed practitioners and educating the community to avoid visiting them to reduce the probability of exposure to unsafe healthcare practices.

Dalam era moden ini kemajuan ilmu sains dan teknologi menjadi semakin pesat kerana munculnya pelbagai penemuan yang banyak memberi manfaat kepada manusia. Hampir semua aspek kehidupan manusia berkait rapat dengan sains dan teknologi. Jika dibandingkan penemuan teknologi tersebut, perkembangan teknologi dalam bidang perubatan dilihat sangat memberangsangkan. Melalui pengetahuan dan penggunaan teknologi perubatan yang sangat maju, maka diagnosis mengenai suatu penyakit dapat dilakukan dengan lebih sempurna. Hasilnya rawatan penyakit dapat dipraktikkan secara lebih efektif. Bahkan perhitungan saat kematian penderita penyakit tertentu dapat dilakukan secara lebih tepat. Kini, hasil daripada perkembangan dan kemajuan dalam bidang sains dan teknologi terutamanya kemajuan dalam bidang perubatan, nyawa manusia telah dapat dilanjutkan dengan menggunakan ubatan atau alat pernafasan moden. Manusia seakan-akan dapat menentukan sama ada ingin mematikan atau menghidupkan seseorang pesakit. Dengan perkembangan teknologi dalam bidang perubatan ini, tidak mustahil ia bakal mengundang masalah yang rumit. Keadaan ini menimbulkan beberapa isu tentang kematian yang dikaitkan dengan euthanasia yang bermakna kematian dengan aman tanpa kesakitan. Euthanasia boleh dibahagikan kepada beberapa kategori iaitu euthanasia aktif, euthanasia pasif, voluntary euthanasia, non-voluntary euthanasia dan involuntary euthanasia. Dalam Islam misalnya, kepercayaan bahawa kehidupan dan kematian manusia adalah ditentukan oleh Allah dan manusia tidak menpunyai hak untuk menamatkan hidupnya sendiri. Jelaslah isu euthanasia menerima bantahan yang tegas daripada para ulama dan syariah Islamiah. Oleh itu, isu euthanasia bukan melibatkan kebajikan pesakit sahaja tetapi juga melibatkan sensitiviti ahli keluarga, ahli perubatan, agama dan lain-lain. Dengan ini, isu euthanasia harus diuruskan secara teliti supaya ia tidak menimbulkan kekeliruan dalam kalangan masyarakat.
