The content in this book presents a unique contribution to the literature, in way of providing insight into the dynamics of traditional caring culture and western caring culture in Cameroon. Relationship between the Practice of Traditional Care and Western Nursing Care in Cameroon" is really interesting and thought provoking. Traditional health care practices and contemporary practices (western nursing, western medicine) operate in an integrated fashion. The practices of traditional caring culture and western nursing relate to each other. The practices of western nursing and the traditional caring culture advocate for patients. In reading the findings of this book, the systems appeared to operate in parallel. Findings suggest that the policy of forced integration is not working, i.e., providers (traditional and contemporary) practice in parallel, often with ensuing tensions. In contrast, the patients and their family members move freely and with relative ease between the two healing/treatment systems. This is an important finding that challenges the government's policy.
