Abstract
A critique of the imposition of technical biomedical solutions on cultures with relational worldviews, and some of the pitfalls of international global health solutions are presented from an East African context, toward a "middle road" approach which considers relational and spiritual world views as a localized approach to global health, with examples from the COVID-19 pandemic.
