The application of new media in medical world is considered as a positive practice. However, it is still not fully accepted by many countries because it?s influenced by the local culture. Basically, culture is influenced by the religious belief of the people. From this study, we can see a lot of similarities between United Kingdom and Malaysia in historical aspect but there was a vast difference in cultural practice. Although the advancement in technology narrowing the gap between these two countries, the barriers still exist in the form of cultural and religious practice especially in certain areas, for example in medical field. Qualitative approach was used in this research which was in-depth interviews with medical practitioners from both of these countries. From the interviews, medical practitioners on both sides had used technology in day to day running of medical facilities. However, the differences were very clear in certain areas of ethical concern such as abortion, infertility management for example sperm bank and surrogate mother. The findings of the study clearly showed that technology was able to act as a bridge between any countries and nations but limited by cultural and religious belief of its people.
