Religious dimension of man contributes substantially to maintain general medical condition, improving and preserving quality of life. How good is faith? Does prayer make you sick less and get better sooner? Does participation in religious services actually have a positive effect on health? The studies examined within this article seem to answer positively to these questions, highlighting the close correlation between religiosity / spirituality, health and physical and psychological well-being. The anthropological and sociological impact of this reality leads to evident historical and philosophical as well as medical and bioethical reflections, generating the need for a deep transformation of health personnel training, where the religious or spiritual aspect are not considered as important, nor relevant for medical approach to patient's care. Nevertheless, several studies address and highlight the importance of this aspect for both individuals and whole population.
