This book focuses on health, healing and health care in Nepal. It
presents an intriguing picture: the interplay between the natural
processes that cause ill health or diseases and the socio-cultural
processes through which people try to understand and cope with
them. The work places medical tradition, health politics, gender
and health, and pharmaceutical business within the wider
politico-economic milieu of Nepal. It also describes the
establishment of medical anthropology as an academic discipline,
and its relevance for understanding the country's specific health
problems, health care traditions, and health policies. Combining
scientific research with practical experiences, the book will serve
as a unique resource, especially for health workers, policymakers,
and teachers and students in medical schools, those in public
health, social medicine, health care, governance and political
studies, sociology and social anthropology, and Nepal and South
Asian studies.
