MEDISCHE ANTROPOLOGIE is a journal for discussion and exchange of information about social and cultural aspects of health, illness and health care. It mainly addresses the Dutch and the Belgian public, but since the journal also publishes articles in foreign languages (English), it may be of interest to other readers as well. The editors welcome contributions which bridge the familiar and foreign cultures. Especially, contributions which cross disciplinary boundaries are welcome. Medical Anthropology is a peer-reviewed journal.
