The devastating conditions prevailing in Africa continue to intrigue observers. This study argues that understanding the conditions requires setting them within a broad contextual framework of development of the peoples' cultural, economic, political, religious, and social systems from pre-colonial times to the present. It breaks new ground by clearly demonstrating the impact of the social and religious teachings and practices of the colonists on patterns of illness and medical responses of Ghanaians. It insists that it is in the spirit of dialogue and equality that the material and spiritual needs of Africans will be met.

The Author: Stephen Owoahene-Acheampong, Ph.D., was born in Ghana, West Africa. He is a graduate of St. Michael's College, University of Toronto. A theologian and a sociologist, he has published in journals and given presentations on African cultures and religions. His teaching and research interests include society, culture, health and development.
