Culture is a multifaceted term with various definitions shaped by its specific context. In a dynamic social environment, culture is relational and learned, as highlighted by numerous studies. Elements such as human behaviors, government policies, environment, location, health, diet, and more significantly influence the culture of a particular area. Given that health is an integral part of culture and vice versa, it is crucial to design healthcare systems that align with the cultural characteristics of the community they serve. Tailoring healthcare systems to cultural contexts can enhance the health sector's effectiveness and prevent culture from being perceived as a static barrier to health improvement. Failure to account for cultural specificity can lead to the incorrect view of culture as a fixed obstacle intertwined with race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, non-normative behaviors, and nationality. To improve our understanding of culture's impact on health, many researchers advise against treating culture as a simple, fixed categorization variable. Since culture shapes and is shaped by historical, economic, political, and geographic contexts, it is essential to consider these factors when examining the relationship between culture and health. It is important to look at how cultural traits and beliefs affect the public health sector and the development of that sector. Cultural beliefs and traits can affect finding the right diagnosis and treatment, and going against culture decreases the development of health in the area. Hence, considering cultural beliefs and traits shapes the public health practices.
