Abstract

Coexistence and interactions between various medical systems (biomedicine, traditional medicine, folk medicine, etc.) remains a major research object in medical anthropology. The main spheres of this scientific branch – addressing the ethnocultural background of the illness and healing experience as well as various social, political-economical factors of human health – all require the development of a classical toolset and mastering new methodological approaches. As discussions among the younger generation of scientists indicate, the course earlier charted by medical anthropology towards interdisciplinarity not only remains relevant and pragmatic efficiency but requires consistent and elaborated intensification.
