Bedside Manners for Muslims

(UK) While still considering the "women doctors only" proposition for female Muslim patients, the British National Health Service (NHS) has ordered bed-repositioning during Muslim prayer times.

OVERWORKED nurses have been ordered to stop all medical work five times every day to move Muslim patients' beds so they face towards Mecca.

The lengthy procedure, which also includes providing fresh bathing water, is creating turmoil among overstretched staff on bustling NHS wards.

I'm wondering if the bed shifting and fresh bathing water, presumably for the feet, are provided in hospitals in Muslim nations.
