- W15444407 abstract "In Zimbabwe, traditional healers enjoy a social role which is much broader than that of a doctor. The healer is an integral part of a complex world view which sees religious beliefs, concepts of disease, human growth and development, and life and the hereafter as intricately interwoven. The government of Zimbabwe therefore recognized as early as 1980 the potential population health benefits of organizing traditional healers and establishing grassroots cooperation toward an integrated approach to health care. To that end, traditional healers were pressured to establish an associate body, ZINTHA, and soon after, the Traditional Medical Practitioners Act established a licensing system for traditional healers to be run by the Traditional Medical Council (TMC). ZINTHA and TMC are now in every administrative district of the country. Traditional midwives and their practices are an accepted part of the maternity system, with most receiving training in basic hygiene and sterilization techniques; a traditional drug used to induce labor has been accepted by doctors; and all medical students spend part of their training in rural areas to gain first-hand experience in traditional medicine. Against AIDS, workshops have been held in every district to facilitate the exchange of practical knowledge and advice among traditional healers and Western doctors on managing the disease. Western medicine is, however, mainly interested in the pharmacological knowledge of the herbalist and healer. These traditional practitioners are loathe to share their knowledge for the profit of Western pharmaceutical companies. The healers fear that giving away too much information may put them out of business." @default.
