Abstract

Within this course we analyzed anthropological approaches to understand the problems of health and medicine in the context of society and culture. We discuss various forms of human experience, discourses, knowledge and practices related to health in different societies and among various social strata within each society. The training course was based on the idea that human health is both a physical and symbolic phenomenon, it is formed socially, is determined culturally and at the same time is associated with a certain historical moment.
