Abstract
In this region of far southwestern Uganda, where the borders of Uganda, Congo, and Rwanda converge like a tricuspid valve of the East African Great Lakes Region, a person requiring medical assistance has three basic options. They may consult (1) traditional healers, (2) travel to the Bwindi Community Hospital, or (3) seek assistance at government health facilities. Proximity to health facilities, economic means, topography, and spiritual factors influence the decision a person makes. Our purpose here today — and I am here speaking on behalf of myself and my co-researcher, Namanya Sezi Busingye — is to report on qualitative findings in Bwindi most relevant to the relationship between the Bwindi Community Hospital and traditional healers within the context of public health in this region.
