▼ Traditional medicines are useful for managing human and animal health in Kenya. The purpose of this study was to document, compare and investigate the bioactivity of Luo and Kuria ethnopharmacopoeias. The findings on ethnobotany and ethnomedicine are based upon fieldwork in Kuria, Migori, Siaya and Kisumu districts, in Nyanza province Kenya. Thirty four consenting traditional practitioners were interviewed over a one and a half year period on aspects of ethnosystematics, ethnomedicine, ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology. The cross-sectional survey used botanical collections, group discussions, interviews and questionnaires. Selection of species for biological activity testing was based on the consistency of use in the two ethnic communities. Biological activity studies used qualitative (disc diffusion) and quantitative (minimum inhibitory concentration tests, LC50 and IC50) tests. The study gives a lexicon (plant and disease names) and taxonomy of illness and diseases in the Luo and Kuria medical systems. Out of the 306 documented species, 158 species (135 genera) and 148 species (129 genera) were used by Luo and Kuria respectively; 73 species and 38 families are common to both ethnopharmacopoeias. Of these 28 species are used to treat similar diseases. Based on richness of species and usefulness, the most important families for illness/ disease conditions are Fabaceae, Asteraceae and Euphorbiaceae. Both ethnopharmacopoeia have high species diversity indicated by high Shannon-Wiener indices (H), 5.33 and 6.52 for the Luo and Kuria respectively. Based on their close coefficient of similarity (S) value of 47.4 amilies, species and usage possibly due to cultural diffusion. The individual informant consensus factor (Fic) values for the groups, 0.504 and 0.567 for Luo and Kuria, indicate a medium level of informant agreement. Traditional perceptions of health are prevalent and deeply rooted among the Kuria and Luo. Forty two and 52 illness and disease conditions are documented for the Luo and Kuria respectively. The top five ranked illness and disease conditions in terms of citation frequency among the two groups were: stomachache, culture bound syndrome, cattle diseases and infant diseases. Most plants have multiple disease uses. Leaf was the most frequently utilized plant part in both ethnopharmacopoeia and decoctions and infusions were the chief formulations. Out of the 308 medicinal plants species used by the Kuria and Luo 55 (17.8%) are formulated in multi-plant preparations; the other 253 (82.2%) are formulated as single plant preparations. Fifteen plants with high and consistent usage reports among Luo and Kuria traditional healers were selected, collected and then screened for antibacterial, antifungal, and antiprotozoal activity with an overall aim of evaluating their use. In vitro bioactivity screening (drug susceptibility tests) for antimicrobial (bacterial, protozoal and mycotic) activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts and dermatophytes: …

▼ This dissertation provides an analysis of the social construction of Alzheimer’s disease within Teotitlán del Valle, a rural Zapotec-speaking community in Oaxaca, Mexico. It explores how Alzheimer’s disease is locally understood, how this understanding reconfigures traditional meanings of old age, and how broader social issues are negotiated through this reconfiguration. Through 10 months of fieldwork this dissertation draws on ethnographic observations and interviews with 22 family caregivers across 9 households. This study is noteworthy for being the first known investigation in Teotitlán whose primary data was collected in the Zapotec language. Further, this dissertation integrates methods across psychology, gerontology, and anthropology, resulting in a unique interdisciplinary approach and a novel interview technique called “locally-focused interviewing.” Results are ethnographic in nature and provide insight onto local caregivers’ experience of attending to elders with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Further, these results show how caregivers’ experience is situated within multiple local discourses – different medical systems, power structures, socioeconomic parameters, norms and traditions. In so doing, this dissertation advances a number of observations. First, this dissertation leverages anthropological insights about medical pluralism – the existence of multiple medical systems in a single location – and demonstrates how Alzheimer’s disease is socially constructed via medical theories and broader social dynamics. Second, this dissertation analyzes how caregivers make decisions on behalf of dependent elders, and how these decisions are made within a medically pluralistic landscape. Although medical decisions are based on concern for elders’ wellbeing, they also invoke dynamics between local traditions and contemporary changes. Third, this dissertation traces caregivers’ daily experience as an instance of what anthropologists refer to as social suffering by attending to caregivers’ challenges, strategies, and perceptions of elders. These features disclose how the caregiving relationship is situated within a tension between local values about aging and the reality of caregiving. Lastly, this dissertation explores how and why caregivers feel responsible to care for dependent elders, and illustrates the way that the broader community is involved in shaping caregivers’ daily experience. As a whole, this dissertation contributes to the fields of psychology and medical anthropology by highlighting the social dimensions of Alzheimer’s disease and how these dimensions shape the experience of providing care for dependent elders.

▼ In August 2008, a biomedical intervention providing free drugs to school aged children to treat two endemic diseases –schistosomiasis haematobium and soil-transmitted helminths - in Morogoro region, Tanzania, was suspended after violent riots erupted. Parents and guardians rushed to schools to prevent their children taking the drugs when they heard reports of children dying in Morogoro town after receiving treatment. When pupils heard these reports, many of those who had swallowed the pills began to complain of dizziness and fainted. In Morogoro town hundreds of pupils were rushed to the Regional Hospital by their parents and other onlookers. News of these apparent fatalities spread throughout the region, including to Doma village where I was conducting fieldwork. Here, protesting villagers accused me of bringing the medicine into the village with which to “poison” the children and it was necessary for me to leave the village immediately under the protection of the Tanzanian police. This thesis, based on eleven months fieldwork between 2007 and 2010 in Doma village and parts of Morogoro town, asks why was this biomedical intervention so vehemently rejected? By analysing local understandings and responses to the mass distribution of drugs in relation to the specific historical, social, political, and economic context in which it occurred, it shows that there was a considerable disjuncture between biomedical understandings of these diseases, including the epidemiological rationale for the provision of preventive chemotherapy, and local perspectives. Such a disjuncture, fuelled by the reports of fatalities and the pupil’s fainting episodes brought about considerable conjecture both locally and nationally, that the drugs had been faulty, counterfeit, or hitherto untested on humans. Among many of the poorer inhabitants of Morogoro town, there was suspicion that this had been a covert sterilization campaign. From an official perspective, such conjecture was dismissed as mere rumour, proliferated by “ignorant” people. However, from an anthropological perspective, these ‘rumours’ reveal profound local anxieties including a pervasive fear that poor Africans are being targeted for covert eugenics projects by governments in the industrialized world. The thesis also shows that many of the assumptions embedded in global policies seeking to control neglected tropical diseases are mistaken. Indeed, it is suggested that it is unlikely that schistosomiasis haematobium and soil-transmitted helminths will be controlled so long as policy makers persist with the idea that one policy, designed by staff working for the World Health Organisation – with minor modifications added in Dar es Salaam - can be rolled out uniformly, irrespective of the political, social and economic context in which the programme occurs.

▼ Rationale: The use of indigenous medicine is widely known in South Africa. In fact, it is estimated that 80-85% of black South Africans consult with indigenous healers in both rural and urban communities (Moshabela, et al., 2016). Despite increased academic interest in indigenous health knowledge (IHK) in the country, there is still interest in studies that are aimed at documenting the indigenous practitioners as well as their herbs and plants. Suggestions have been made to fill this knowledge gap by conducting ethnobotanical surveys of the plants used by indigenous healers as well as to identify who are these healers that use these plants. Aim and Objectives: The main aim and objective of this study was to explore and identify the indigenous healers of the Madwaleni, including the illnesses these healers manage, and which herbs are used to treat each illness. Other objectives were to: catalogue the ethnobotanical diversity used by these healers, and to identify the precise botanical environment that these herbs grow as well as the relationship these healers have with these environments. Lastly, the study explores the relationship between indigenous healers and the biomedical health care system in the area. Method: This is a descriptive, ethnographic study that used qualitative methods of data collection. The data was collected through participant observation, where participants took part in interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). There were 37 participants and key stakeholders, 30 being practitioners of indigenous medicine, 5 being biomedical health professionals, and 2 being traditional leaders. Both in-depth interviews and FGDs were used to collect data, totalling up to 6 interviews and 15 FGDs. Life stories were documented as part of exploring methods that could be used in the reconciliation process. The plants used by the indigenous healers of the area were documented transcriptionally and photographically. Findings: • The indigenous healers of Madwaleni can be categorized in five categories: (1) amaGqirha (indigenous doctors) and (2) amaXhwele (herbalists), (3) elite older Xhosa women and (4) amaTola (older elite men), and (5) abaThandazeli (faith healers). Intersectionality and partnerships between these groups of healers was welcomed and encouraged, although some unresolved tensions exist between the healers due differences in philosophy and practice. • The relationships between the individual, the community, the natural environment and the ancestral spirits all play a pivotal role in maintaining health in Madwaleni. Therefore, health is attained when the complete balance between mind, body and soul is achieved through the maintenance of solid relationships between all members of society, including the ancestors and the natural environment. When sickness results because of rifts in these relationships, indigenous medicinal plants must be administered to treat the illness and to regain the normal state of health. These plants are believed to be imbued with the spiritually healing powers of the… Advisors/Committee Members: Mji, Gubela, Reuter, Helmuth, Stellenbosch University.

▼ HIV/AIDS is treated biomedically. People living with HIV (PLHIV) are expected to strictly adhere to active antiretroviral treatment (ART) prescribed by biomedical health practitioners in order to “progress” on the cascade of care. Poor progression on the cascade of care, however, has been shown to exist amongst PLHIV. The use of multiple health systems – biomedicine, traditional healing and religious healing, known as medical pluralism, has been said to be a contributing factor in the poor adherence to HIV testing and treatment. Some PLHIV, however, have been shown to be in care while practicing medical pluralism. Thus, this study explores the experiences of such PLHIV in their practice of medical pluralism, especially how navigate the systems and treatments utilised. This study was conducted at the Hlabisa sub-District, a rural area in uMkhanyakude District of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, though qualitative ethnography. Eighteen participants were recruited using theoretical and purposive sampling. Nine PLHIV were the primary participants in the study. Of the nine PLHIV, four were also traditional healers. The other nine participants, made up of five biomedical healthcare practitioners, three traditional healers and one faith/religious healer, were the secondary participants. The study found that the PLHIV in the study consciously made concurrent, parallel or sequential use of plural healthcare for various health conditions when they believed such conditions can best or only be treated using specific health systems. None of the participants sought to “treat” or “cure” HIV using health systems outside biomedicine. The study found that some of the participants refused initiation into ART due to the attitude of the biomedical health practitioners towards the participants’ use of plural health. Primary participants who maintained their ART all reported to have had suppressed viral loads and high CD4 counts. Their health-seeking behaviours can be seen as an expression of their agency. Hence, rather than excluding them from using basic primary health services due to their plural health use, a better understanding and appreciation of their reasons, motivations, and manners of practising medical pluralism is needed. This will aid in the development of health programmes that better cater for their health needs. Advisors/Committee Members: Naidu, Maheshvari. (advisor), Moshabela, Matlagolo Mosa. (advisor).

Cette thèse porte sur les représentations et pratiques relatives aux corps et aux soins dans un village des Andes sud‐péruviennes. Cet objet, a priori classique pour l’ethnologie andine, est ici abordé dans une situation dynamique, pluraliste et politisée avec une approche qui se distingue clairement de la démarche habituellement suivie. Si ces représentations et pratiques ont tout d’abord été appréhendées au sein des espaces domestiques et auprès des guérisseurs, c’est ensuite le poste de santé, structure officielle de santé publique, qui a été pris en compte dans le pluralisme médical local. Ses rapports avec les villageois ont alors été analysés sous l’angle du pouvoir. Et son influencesur les pratiques de soins, sur les corps et sur les représentations correspondantes a été interrogée. Afin de saisir les transformations en cours depuis plus d’une trentaine d’années, une perspective diachronique a finalement été suivie. C’est ainsi qu’a pu être mise au jour une dynamique de contrôle et de normalisation des corps et des individus par la santé publique. Phénomène qui se traduit pour l’instant par une transformation des pratiques de soins mais aussi des corps individuels ainsi que par une différenciation croissante du corps social. Avec le renouvellement générationnel, ceprocessus de transformation, relativement récent mais néanmoins profond, peut probablement mener à un véritable basculement socioculturel ici résumé par l’expression "d’un corps à l’autre" qui désigne non seulement le passage "d’un corps individuel à l’autre" mais aussi celui "d’un corps social à l’autre".

This thesis focuses on representations and practices related to bodies and cares in a South Peruvian Andes village. This object, which seems classical in Andean ethnology, is discussed here in a dynamic, pluralistic and politicized situation with an approach which is clearly distinguishable from the usual processes. If these representations and practices have first been understood in domestic spaces and among healers, it is then the health station, a formal structure of public health, which has been taken into account in the local medical pluralism. Its relationships with the villagers were then analyzed interms of power. Its influence on care practices, on the body and its corresponding representations was questioned. To capture the changes taking place for over thirty years, a diachronic perspective was finally chosen. Thus, a dynamic of control and normalization of bodies and individuals by the public health could be brought to light. A phenomenon that resulted so far in transforming care practices but also individual bodies, as well as in increasing differentiation of the society. With generational renewal this transformation process, relatively new but nevertheless deep, can possiblylead to a real sociocultural swing here summarized by the expression "from one body to another" which refers not only to the passage of an "individual body to another" but also "from a social body to another".

▼ This dissertation examined health care utilization patterns across conventional health care (CHC), complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and public health care (PHC) systems among Canadians aged fifty and older. I argued that utilization research is currently limited by a primary focus on discrete use of health care services, largely within the CHC system (i.e., medical doctors, specialists, hospitals). However substantial growth in use of CAM and PHC, particularly among late middle-age cohorts, suggests the need to widen the research lens from discretionary service use within health care systems to include medical pluralism or use across health care systems. To address the lack of research on medical pluralism and the need for a comprehensive overview of service use, I used two different strategies to create discrete patterns of service use and non-use. To frame the predictors of these patterns, a medical pluralism paradigm was proposed, which suggests that there are distinct social location and health characteristics that may explain use across health care systems. Five hypotheses were tested using data pooled from two cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey (Cycles 2.1 [2003] and 3.1 [2005]) to create an overall sample (n=117,824). Results from the deductive (variable oriented) and inductive (person centred) strategies were compared. Differences in both the number and form of patterns are apparent. Across both strategies, the most common pattern is dual use of CHC (medical visits, specialist visits) and PHC (flu shots, sex-specific screening) but not CAM (chiropractors, other CAM providers). Consistent with the literature, women use more types of services overall than do men. The gender effect is significantly mediated by age: older men are less likely to use services across the three health care systems than older women. Strong evidence for a socioeconomic gradient in medical pluralism is also found. Higher levels of income and education increase the likelihood of using services across the three health care systems compared to low and middle levels of both income and education. The relationship between race and health service use was much less significant. Long-term immigrants demonstrate tri-use patterns close to those of Canadian born individuals; however, service differentials remain even after controlling for health needs, in favour of native-born Canadians. Medical pluralism is also associated with health related-need as support was found for both illness and wellness care. Lastly, regional differences point to a greater likelihood of medical pluralism in western Canada, but not always in urban areas. In future, a longitudinal examination of medical pluralism is necessary and would help establish the sequencing of services and how services are used in relation to the disablement process. Health policy would thus benefit from insight into the extent of service duplication for specific conditions and clarify the role of medical doctors in referral processes.

▼ Combining the use of alternative and complementary therapies and orthodox medicine is an increasing phenomenon. This thesis examines the implications of mixing and matching plural healing modalities against a backdrop of patient and practitioner responsibilities. From an anthropological perspective, the predominant use of qualitative methodology is an integral part of this research project. Central to this study is the views of a variety of participant categories - patients who use both alternative and orthodox healing methods; non-medical alternative and complementary practitioners; medical doctors who integrate orthodox and CAM therapies into their daily practise; and orthodox general practitioners. Interviews with these participants took place over an eighteen-month timeframe and involved face-to-face interviews, telephone interviews, and focus group research. Social constructionist theory, which forms part of the compendium of interpretive theoretical approaches adopted under the medical anthropology paradigm, has been used in order to expose the beliefs patients and practitioners hold about their own responsibilities, and those of the other participant categories. This study reveals a palimpsest of complex, contradictory and competing discourses in relation to patient and practitioner expectations and responsibilities. One important finding relates to the significance of neo-liberal and individualistic ideologies. This thesis concludes that the rhetoric from complementary and alternative practitioners, and their integrative colleagues, is heavily imbued with ideas about self-responsibility, particularly in relation to patient lifestyle choices and therapeutic compliance. Patients and orthodox general practitioners share some of these views but in general adopt a more collective approach to health care responsibilities. While patients are prepared to accept some responsibility for their illnesses and health keeping practises, they express strong reliance towards the orthodox health model as well as those doctors who practise integrative medicine. However the same cannot be said of their attitudes towards CAM modalities where considerable ambivalence is evident towards both practitioners and the therapies themselves. The role of the state, and its responsibilities for the structure of the health care system in New Zealand, is also clearly influential in the construction of belief systems. This is especially so because the rhetoric underlying neo-liberal and individualistic discourses now permeates the direction of health policies. Increasing levels of surveillance, both at bureaucratic and individual levels, also attests to the influence of neo-liberalism and individualism. This study exposes the tensions between the rhetoric of self-responsibility and the lived experiences of patients and health practitioners, which in many cases is more collective in its focus than is initially apparent.

▼ Since the early 2000s, Sri Lanka has made major gains in decentralizing and expanding state-based mental healthcare access and services outside of Colombo. However, little evidence exists related to on-the-ground experiences of Sri Lankans who access these services, the quality and sustainability of services, and the effects services have on individual therapy management of mental and emotional distress. In addition to an extensive historical review of mental health service provision, this dissertation explores strategic health-seeking practices among Tamil-speaking communities in eastern Sri Lanka—an area ravaged by high rates of poverty, 26 years of civil war, and the 2004 tsunami catastrophe. Across 21 months of ethnographic research, I observed psychiatric, traditional, and religious mental healthcare practices and client interactions with both doctors and healers. I also conducted 58 semi-structured interviews with clients, family members, mental health doctors and staff, and traditional healers. I analyze clients’ life histories, local pluralistic therapies, as well as socioeconomic changes in post-war eastern Sri Lanka shaping experiences of suffering, treatment practices, and accessibility to resources and knowledge. I document the origin of mental health services in the east, subsequent barriers associated with increased demand for services, organizational changes, and a significant decrease in resources. Such social changes led to a heavy reliance on inexpensive biomedical drugs to alleviate mental illness and emotional distress. Given these shifts, and stigma associated with state-based mental healthcare, clients find strategic ways to associated with psychiatric treatments. This research positions local expressions of distress as tied to South Asian cultural ideas about mental health, and social inequalities linked to changing gender roles, transnational labor, sexual morality, and family economic status. Evidence collected from this research builds on existing contextually-based analyses to inform global health campaigns aimed at improving access to mental healthcare. Research and practice must adopt a more nuanced view of historical features, cultural processes, and socioeconomic changes that present challenges and/or opportunities for doctors and residents seeking out mental healthcare in post-war settings.

Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Phänomen des Gesundheitsverhaltens im Kontext der Nutzung der Traditionellen Chinesischen Medizin (TCM) in Österreich. Von der Frage angeleitet, auf welche Art und Weise NutzerInnen mit der medizinischen Ressource TCM umgehen, wurde eine ethnographische Datenerhebung in Wien durchgeführt. Dazu wurden einerseits ExpertInnen-Befragungen mit TCM-AnbieterInnen geführt. Andererseits wurden Gespräche mit zwei Gruppen von TCM-NutzerInnen geführt (PatientInnen einer Arztpraxis für Biomedizin und TCM; separat ausgewählte NutzerInnen von TCM) und in der Arztpraxis für Biomedizin und TCM ferner mit der Methode der teilnehmenden Beobachtung gearbeitet. Mittels der Analyse der erhobenen Daten wurde versucht ein theoretisches Modell der Nutzung medizinsicher Ressourcen zu entwickeln. Dabei wurden folgende wesentliche Aspekte identifiziert. Die Nutzung medizinischer Ressourcen ist als aktives, Ressourcen-orientiertes Handeln zu verstehen, dass von der Entwicklung verschiedener Kompetenzen der NutzerInnen geprägt ist. Diese Kompetenzen beziehen sich auf gesundheitsbezogenes Handeln (Gesundheitskoordination, Eigenbehandlung, Verantwortungsübernahme, Ressourcendifferenzierung), selbstbezogenes Handeln (Beschwerdendifferenzierung, Reflexive Kompetenz). In weiteren Untersuchungen könnten die gewonnenen Ergebnisse hinsichtlich verschiedener Variablen wie z.B. Gender und / oder Alter bearbeitet werden.

This thesis deals with health seeking behaviour in the context of the utilization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Austria. To answer the research question of how people are making use of this medical ressource, ethnographic field research was conducted in Vienna. Expert interviews with TCM-providers were done for this purpose, as well as qualitative interviews with two separate groups of TCM-users (patients in a private practice; users outside of this practice). At the private practice participant observation was also used as a method. Through analyses a theoretical model was established to explain the utilization of medical ressources. Certain important aspects were discovered hereby. Utilization of medical ressources can be defined as active and ressource-oriented. Various skills and competences are being developed by users in the process. Health related skills such as coordination of health, self-treatment and taking on responsibility play a major role. Other skills like reflection (on self, on ailments) that revolve more around the users per se are important as well. Further studies should control for variables like gender and / or age to further explain the phenomena.

A la croisée de l’anthropologie de la maladie et de l’anthropologie de la santé, cette thèse explore la diversité des savoirs et des pratiques de soins dédiés à la prévention ainsi qu’au traitement des problèmes de santé considérés comme spécifiquement féminins en France rurale. L’ethnographie a été menée sur la presqu’île du Médoc, territoire où l’imaginaire lié à la nature fait naître des représentations sur la population entre fantasmes et stigmates, et où se pose régulièrement la question de la désertification médicale, à l’instar d’autres campagnes françaises. Dans ce contexte, des observations et des entretiens qualitatifs ont été réalisés auprès d’une soixantaine de femmes et d’une quarantaine d’acteurs du soin aux profils variés, afin de dessiner les contours et les dynamiques du pluralisme thérapeutique local consacré aux « maux de femmes ». Cette catégorie opératoire regroupe l’ensemble des malaises, mal-être et maladies, souvent sensibles et tabous, qui m’ont été confiés par mes interlocutrices. La thèse éclaire les diverses logiques de recours aux soins qu’elles développent au cours de ces itinéraires thérapeutiques particuliers, constitués de soins biomédicaux, spécialisés ou non dans le domaine de la « santé sexuelle et reproductive », de soins non conventionnels et de soins domestiques. La réflexion globale porte sur la complémentarité des soins façonnée par les usagères du pluralisme thérapeutique au fil de leurs quêtes de soins efficaces, en même temps qu’elle questionne les quêtes de soi suscitées chez les femmes selon que les soins normalisent ou non leurs conduites, les rendent ou non actrices de leur santé, ou qu’ils réifient ou réinventent les normes de genre.

This thesis in medical anthropology explores the diversity of knowledge and care practices dedicated to prevention and treatment of health problems considered as specifically feminine in rural France. The ethnography was conducted in the Medoc peninsula, an area where nature related imaginary leads to representations between fantasy and stigmas from the local population. It is also an area discussed for its medical desertification alike other French rural areas. In this context, observations and qualitative interviews were conducted with about sixty women and forty care actors with various profiles in order to understand and present the contours and dynamics of local therapeutic pluralism dedicated to “women health issues”. This operational category stands for all illness, sickness and diseases, often sensitive, taboo and revealed to me in confidence. This thesis enlightens women’s diverse uses of healthcare in their singular therapeutic itineraries, made of biomedical care, specialized or not in the sexual and reproductive health sector, of non-conventional or alternative medicines and of domestic cares. The overall reflection addresses the complementarity of treatments developed by users of therapeutic pluralism in their quest for health, and questions women’s personal quest according to the way treatments normalize or not their…

▼ This thesis is a descriptive study about the plural healthcare system on Siberut Island, Indonesia. The study explores the theoretical concepts of medical systems and medical pluralism in relation to the case study of Siberut Island. For the situation encountered on the island, Arthur Kleinman’s model of health care systems and Tapio Nisula’s term medical culture are appropriate. Because the study concentrates on describing the traditional shamanic medical system of Siberut on one hand, and the relatively recent biomedical healthcare on the other, the theoretical chapter includes discussion on ethnomedicine and the medical anthropological study of biomedicine. In this study, biomedicine is viewed as one ethnomedicine among others. Its basis in the Cartesian dualism and how this shows in biomedical theory and practice is discussed. This thesis is written in the spirit of critical medical anthropology (CMA), paying attention to macro-level processes such as national politics and policies, economy, history, questions of identity etc. The thesis is based on data collected during a seven month field work period in 2003, out of which approximately three months were spent in the small village of Ugai on Siberut. Siberut belongs to the Mentawai Archipelago, on the western side of Sumatra. Siberut is the biggest island of the archipelago, and has until recently remained fairly untouched by outside influences. In the last two decades, it has become increasingly known internationally due to its unique nature and indigenous culture. The field data was collected through participant observation, discussions with villagers and people working in healthcare, and some interviews. In addition, available literature on Siberut and on healthcare seeking and medical pluralism has been used. After the theoretical considerations, the thesis first describes Siberut and its history, then the traditional cosmology and healing practices related to it. The history and functioning of biomedical healthcare on the island is discussed next. The last two chapters discuss the plural health care system as a whole, describing what factors affect healthcare seeking. Seven case histories are presented to give the reader an understanding of the lived reality of Siberut’s plural healthcare system. Using Kleinman’s model, three sectors can be identified in the Siberutan health care system: 1) the folk sector (of self-medication with herbal remedies and over the counter biomedical products), 2) the traditional sector (of shamans, herbalists and traditional midwives), and 3) the professional sector (of biomedical doctors and nurses). The sectors are overlapping and complementary. People on Siberut Island use the plural medical system flexibly according to their needs and depending on their situation. They do not view the different kinds of healthcare as separate bounded systems, and see no contradiction in using e.g. shamanic healing and biomedical healthcare simultaneously or consequtively. Especially the providers of biomedical…

Depuis les recommandations de l'OMS de la fin des années 1970, de nombreux pays enAfrique ont mis en place des dynamiques de reconnaissance de la médecinetraditionnelle et de ses praticiens. Cette thèse s'intéresse au projet de développement dela « médecine intégrative » à Madagascar, consistant en son intégration au sein dusystème de soins officiel et conventionnel. Ce projet a pour objectif l'amélioration de lasanté des populations et passe par une double évaluation : au niveau social avecl'encadrement des activités des tradipraticiens et au niveau thérapeutique avec larecherche sur les plantes médicinales et le développement de remèdes traditionnelsaméliorés. Cette recherche est le fruit d'une démarche méthodologique qui s'appuie surdes enquêtes multi-situées, avec un terrain de recherche dans la capitale malgache et sesenvirons et avec l'ethnographie d'une localité rurale de la région Analanjirofo (côte estde Madagascar). Cette approche s'intéresse d'un côté aux tentatives d'applications desdécisions politiques en matière d'encadrement de la médecine traditionnelle et de l'autreà la pratique concrète des soins traditionnels ainsi qu'aux comportements individuels etcommunautaires face à la gestion des maux, des malheurs et de la maladie avec desétudes de cas approfondies. Cette thèse s'inscrit dans le champ de l'anthropologie de lasanté avec une orientation sur les dynamiques politiques et de développement. Unintérêt particulier est porté à la nature de la cohabitation entre praticiens (médecins,guérisseurs) se déclinant d'un simple référencement de patients à une plus rarecollaboration. Cette étude met en exergue le décalage pouvant exister entre desdécisions gouvernementales et leurs applications locales ainsi que les enjeux sociaux,politiques et économiques qui en résultent.

Following the WHO recommendations made in the late 1970s, many countries in Africahave implemented dynamics of recognition of traditional medicine and traditionalhealers. This dissertation focuses on the development of « integrative medicine » inMadagascar, consisting in its integration into the formal and conventional health caresystem. This development project, focusing on improving population's public health,requires a double evaluation: a social evaluation with the supervision of traditionalhealers' practices and a therapeutic evaluation with research on medicinal plants anddevelopment of improved traditional remedies. This research is the result of amethodological approach based on multi-located fieldworks conducted in the Malagasycapital and its surroundings and an ethnography of a rural town in the Analanjiroforegion (east coast of Madagascar). On one side, this approach focuses on the attempts ofapplication of political decisions regarding the supervision of traditional medicine andon the other side, on the real practice of traditional care as well as on individual andcommunal behaviours when facing disease, sickness, illness and misfortunes withextended case studies. This thesis contributes to the anthropology of health with a…
