Description
Andrea Leite Ribeiro and four colleagues reflect on health care in quilombola communities, where ancestral healing practices meet digital medicine. Quilombola communities, founded by Afro-Brazilians, have developed their own care traditions over centuries, including specific rituals. The authors take a bioethical approach, reading the topic through the UNESCO declaration on bioethics and human rights and through Brazilian schools of intervention and protection bioethics.
Traditional knowledge and new technology need to meet, they argue, not compete. Communities should gain access to modern diagnosis and treatment, with those resources adapted to local culture rather than imposed over it. Digital health strategies belong inside primary care, the authors conclude, as long as ancestral knowledge is guarded. The model they defend joins the two inheritances into one culturally respectful system of care.
