Discussion:
Given the severe shortage of trained medical personnel, especially in rural areas of low-resource countries, many medical anthropologists have suggested incorporating traditional healers into health care and health education initiatives.

Should traditional healers be actively incorporated into our response to the HIV/AIDS crisis? Develop a stance, and using evidence from readings, lecture, Ted talks etc., defend your position.
Response should be 2 to 3 pages, double-spaced. 1" margins, 12 pt font.
