SIT Study Abroad Madagascar: Traditional Medicine and Healthcare Systems

SIT Study Abroad Madagascar: Traditional Medicine and Healthcare Systems Explore traditional and allopathic healthcare from the context of Madagascar
(2)

This program examines how Madagascar's historical circumstances, geography, and demographics shape and inform the delivery of these sometimes competing, sometimes complementary healthcare systems. The program incorporates lectures, field study, and interactive community involvement. From their base in the capital city of Antananarivo (Tana) and through rural excursions, students learn firsthand ab

out forms of treatment, methods of diagnosis, questions of access, and the education and training of healthcare professionals. From discussions with leading academics and allopathic doctors at the University of Antananarivo Faculty of Science's Pharmacology Department and the School of Medicine to exchanges with traditional healers and herbalists at local markets, students acquire heightened sensitivity to the complexity of current debates over traditional and allopathic delivery models, not only in Madagascar, but globally.
