摘要

摘要:本文分析了民族志和历史数据,强调将健康定义为集体福祉的重要性。在探索东非殖民时期的传教医疗活动时,我在我的研究网站Mwana Mwema Program上,将欧美新教使命的制度遗产与美国全球公共卫生规定的当代框架联系起来。在肯尼亚的这个以信仰为基础的美国国际开发署诊所网络中,为感染艾滋病毒的儿童提供治疗,从业者在全球卫生系统中照顾更广泛的社区,该系统基于流行病学标准为捐助者提供资金。这种狭隘的框架与从业者将治愈视为集体福祉的观念相冲突,并可能加剧社区分裂。我认为,Mwana Mwema的集体福祉概念提供了一个基于信仰的提供者可以接受的医疗保健框架。它为整个社区提供了更全面的护理,并为我们美国人重新思考我们的健康观念提供了机会。

Navigating the Divide: Healing Practices and Collective Wellbeing in a Nairobi Clinic
abstract:This paper analyzes ethnographic and historical data to emphasize the importance of framing health as collective wellbeing. Exploring missionary medical campaigns during the colonial period in East Africa, I connect the institutional legacy of Euro-American Protestant missions on the contemporary frameworks of US global public health provisions at my research site, Mwana Mwema Program. At this network of faith-based, USAID clinics in Kenya that provide treatment for children living with HIV, practitioners care for the wider community within a global health system that bases donor funding on epidemiological criteria. This narrow framing conflicts with practitioners' notions of healing as collective wellbeing and can exacerbate communal divisions. I argue that Mwana Mwema's notion of collective wellbeing offers a healthcare framework that faith-based providers can embrace. It yields more holistic care for entire communities and offers an opportunity for those of us in the United States to rethink our notions of health.
