Current ethical and other problems in the practice of African traditional medicine
Med Law. 2003;22(1):29-38.
by Omonzejele P.
Medicine in Africa is regarded as possessing its own "life force", not just using a
system of prescribing. This is because health problems are not only attributed to
pathological explanations alone, but also to other "forces". Hence, traditional
healers utter incantations to take care of negative forces which militate against
achieving cure. Treatment in African traditional medicine (ATM) is holistic.
It seeks to strike a balance between the patients' body, soul and spirit.
