Missionary Medicine and Primary/Universal Health Care: the Case of Uganda
Missionary Medicine and Primary/Universal Health Care: The Case of Uganda Dr Shane Doyle University of Leeds Healthcare for all? • Can effective healthcare be provided at low cost to the bulk of the population even in poor countries? • Do mission institutions have a role to play in Recovering children with mothers in a pediatric malaria ward in Butare. Photograph: David Evans/National the provision of Geographic/Getty Images universal elementary healthcare and preventive services? 2 Was missionary medicine primarily ‘a tool for evangelization’ (J. McCracken) • Medical mission: • ‘used as heavy artillery . in the less responsive fields (H. Lankester) • ‘has to treat the physical problem of suffering and disease, and it has to deal with the spiritual and moral problem of sin’ (A. Cook) Or was medical mission penitential? • For Albert Schweitzer medical mission was a means of righting ‘the injustice and cruelties that in the course of centuries [Africans] have suffered at the hands of Europeans’ Is missionary medicine compatible with universal and primary healthcare? Mission healthcare may seem to policy-makers to provide a structural obstacle to the integration, coordination and consistency implied by universal health coverage. Whereas Universal and Primary Healthcare have a focus on the community, on prevention, mission medicine by reputation focuses on the curative, on the individual, and on its own adherents. Medical mission focused on groups which were defined as particularly vulnerable, or especially important to the religious aims of the mission. • Missions concentrated on relief for disadvantaged groups such as lepers, the blind and the crippled, ‘biblical manifestations of disease and misery’.
