Abstract
Health decisions, such as how people seek treatment and which kinds of treatment they trust, are highly influenced by culture. In many societies, herbal remedies, spiritual healing and community-based care are still widely used, even when biomedical healthcare is available. Joan Costa-Font writes that it’s important to acknowledge the enduring popularity of these traditions and recommends cultural sensitivity in healthcare policies.
