One person, two roles: nurse and traditional healer.
In South Africa it is intended that health care should become more community-driven. One requirement for achieving this is to bring together the traditional and modern medical systems. Nurse/traditional healers, being involved in both systems, can contribute significantly to increased collaboration and understanding between them provided that restrictions on their activities in hospitals are diminished.
