Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The coexistence of Samoan and Western medicine in Samoa highlights a unique healthcare dynamic. While Western hospitals are staffed by trained doctors, many Samoans, especially infants, turn to traditional healers known as fofō for certain ailments. This preference is rooted in cultural beliefs rather than lack of access to medical facilities. Despite their differing approaches, both systems exhibit mutual tolerance and occasional cooperation, with the Western Health Department recognizing and supporting some fofō to promote community health.
