The Village

In all cultures and regions, the concept of health varies, based on the type of environment and prevalent sociocultural traditions. The present study is conducted among the Lepchas of the village of Lingthem divided into two sectors—Upper and Lower Lingthem, Upper Dzongu, North Sikkim. This population comprising Buddhist Lepchas residing away from the mainstream through poor infrastructural facilities still maintain ethnomedical health care practices without influence of major Indian healing systems. Living in the area of Dzongu exclusively inhabited by Lepchas revival of ancient cultural practices is evident among Lepchas of Lingthem. The structure of religious beliefs prevalent among the Lepchas, including traditional animistic as well as Buddhist practices, greatly influence forms of treatment sought for specific ailments. Even today, the use and maintenance of traditional health care with syncretized Buddhist religious belief among residents of Lingthem act as a vital source for understanding the influence of religion on traditional health care practices. Despite the presence of a few modern health care agencies, the traditional treatment of Bongthing (Lepcha shaman) and Buddhist monks remain widely popular as primary means of health care.

Traditional Health Care

This essay is a discussion of ethical issues that arise in the provision of home health care to technology-dependent children. Different ethical norms, especially with regard to the degree of professional responsibility for outcomes, traditionally have applied to home care and hospital care. In particular, parents generally are expected to do their best, but are not expected to have the same specialized knowledge of risks and benefits with regard to particular interventions as health professionals. When home health care involves the use of advanced medical technology, it strains traditional conceptions of parental responsibilities to care for the health of their children at home. It can also strain traditional concepts of professional responsibilities to care for critically ill children in hospitals. We discuss some of the tensions that arise as medical, psychological, and economic forces lead to the increasing use of high technology in the care of children outside of traditional health care institutions.

In 2012, the Comprehensive Health Evaluations for Cincinnati’s Kids (CHECK) Center was launched at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center to provide health care for over 1,000 children placed into foster care each year in the Cincinnati community. This consultation model clinical program was developed because children in foster care have been difficult to manage in the traditional health care setting due to unmet health needs, missing medical records, cumbersome state mandates, and transient and impoverished social settings. This case study describes the history and creation of the CHECK Center, demonstrating the development of a successful foster care health delivery system that is inclusive of all community partners, tailored for the needs and resources of the community, and able to adapt and respond to new information and changing systems.

Summary Purpose: To compare organized and traditional health care delivery systems and their ability to meet several major challenges facing health care in the next 25 years. Approach: Analysis of traditional and organized health care systems based on a career spent in organized health care systems. Conclusions: The traditional health care system based on independent autonomous physicians is not able to meet the challenges of current healthcare. Stronger integration and coordination, i.e., organized health care delivery systems are required.

Ongoing Surveillance

The experience of pregnant and postpartum patients continues to evolve during the COVID-19 pandemic. Limited clinical data and the unknown nature of the virus’ impact and transmission routes have forced constant changes to traditional care delivery. Dependence on telehealth technology such as telephonic and videoconferencing has surged, and patients’ willingness to visit traditional health care facilities has plummeted. We set out to create an ongoing surveillance system to monitor changes to prenatal and obstetric care and the patient experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This chapter examines religion and health care in Mozambique. The two basic questions are (1) “How does religion factor into the Social Determinants of Health?”; and (2) “What is its connection to outcomes?” The political, economic, health, and religious contexts of Mozambique are reviewed. The country is challenged by persistent poverty and underdevelopment. Mozambique had a Marxist government that suppressed religion. Religion nonetheless influences health care quite significantly in contemporary Mozambique. Christian and Muslim Faith-Based Organizations play an important role in fighting HIV/AIDS and the provision of health care in general. Pentecostalism is rising and plays a controversial role in its engagement with modern medicine. People often seek traditional health care and even combine such visits with more Western-style treatments from health centers and hospitals.
