Pastoralists of the West African Savanna

The professionalisation of African medicine MURRAY LAST GORDON CHAVUNDUKA editors The World Health Organisation is strongly urging African governments to involve traditional healers in primary health care. The traditional healers, never previously organised, are now, in response to this pressure, starting to form professional associations. This is the first study of their efforts and the associated problems of African medicine. The book draws upon as many African authors as possible to reflect the wide range of interest in systematising traditional medicine, and to include material on every significant instance of regulation or organisation. It constitutes a pioneering collection of sources not available elsewhere. Because of the changing position of traditional medicine it may well also be a unique record: before long what is described here will largely have disappeared.
