• Understanding Impediments to Traditional Healing/Biomedical Collaboration

I propose to study how the mindsets of traditional healers and biomedical practitioners have impacted collaboration between the two groups in Botswana. Though there is official support for collaboration and the resources traditional healers could offer are enormous and desperately needed, these collaborations appear not to have materialized to the extent to which they could. Gaining insight into the attitudes of both groups could improve this.
