This book was released on 2005-10-20 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the rush to development in Botswana, and Africa more generally, changes in work, diet, and medical care have resulted in escalating experiences of chronic illness, debilitating disease, and accident. Debility and the Moral Imagination in Botswana documents how transformations wrought by colonialism, independence, industrialization, and development have effected changes in bodily life and perceptions of health, illness, and debility. In this intimate and powerful book, Julie Livingston explores the lives of debilitated persons, their caregivers, the medical and social networks of caring, and methods that communities have adopted for promoting well-being. Livingston traces how Tswana medical thought and practice have become intertwined with Western bio-medical ideas and techniques. By focusing on experiences and meanings of illness and bodily misfortune, Livingston sheds light on the complexities of the current HIV/AIDS epidemic and places it in context with a long and complex history of impairment and debility. This book presents practical and thoughtful responses to physical misfortune and offers an understanding of the complex dynamic between social change and suffering.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenges that poor communities in rural Botswana have faced in the past involve diversifying livelihood options available to households given the context of the community and the characteristics of the land. Information about the health status of a rural community is a critical component to take into consideration when assessing the livelihood opportunities of which people may be able to take advantage, given the consequences that these opportunities may have on their health. It is important to consider the social and environmental impacts that economic development might have on a community if the goal is to achieve a sustainable future (Calberth, 2003). The purpose of this project was to expand on the work conducted during the summer of 2011 by the Master's in Sustainable Development Practice (MDP) team in northwest Botswana and assess development trends in two rural communities (Sankuyo and Shorobe) in hopes of identifying the potential impact that development trends may have on the community's health. The potential direction of development trends and their impact on health was evaluated through a Health Impact Assessment which examined literature on the current health situation and economic development of Botswana, as well as qualitative and quantitative data collected in both communities in 2010 and 2011 by researchers from the University of Florida. The questions that were discussed include: 1) What is the current health situation? 2) How might development changes affect health? 3) What are some recommendations for reduction of the health burden in rural communities?

Download or read book Medical Careers and the Botswana Health Care System written by Christopher Ntau and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the careers of doctors in Botswana, a developing country without its own medical school or strongly organised medical profession. It argues that the interplay between the socio-economic and political forces and doctors experiences internalised over the years at medical school, contribute to medical migration from the public health sector to private practice, and abroad. The book first looks at the influences that are considered when one chooses a mdeical career. Then, it explores students' medical school socialisation outisde Botswana, and how this interfaces with subsequent workplace exeperience in Botswana. The retention efforts within the public service and the "pull" factors to the industrialised countries and international agencies are also discussed.
