Blogswana Post: Using Traditional Healers To Increase AIDS Treatment Compliance

October 30th, 2006 at 4:41 am · Allan Showalter, MD · Public Health · No Comments




The 26 Oct 2006 post in Blogswana, Traditional Doctors in the Fight Against AIDS is a thoughtful and interesting discussion of the influence traditional healers can have on healthcare behaviors, specifically adherence to ARV therapy. Well worth reading.

The article also references the 1997 Zacharia Wanakacha Samita review in the Journal of Third World Studies of Byaruhanga-Aiiki & Kealotswe’s work, Healers and Protective Medicine in Botswana.
