Healing traditions, health care systems, education abroadAbstract
As David Hornung and Cathy Shrady demonstrate in their paper in this volume on different healing traditions, societies differ on how they define illness and health, how they explain the lack of health, and in how they apply local values to problems of health. The purpose of this paper is to expand this insight to some larger issues, including the role played by the health care system, as organized by the modern state, in the way physicians do their work.
