Abstract title: Prescription for underdevelopment
Author:

Sarah Shannon and Elena Metcalf

Issue: Volume 9, Number 4 1999

The authors respond to some of the criticisms of Where Women Have No Doctor (Development in Practice 8(3)). They argue that, far from it being dangerous to give medical information to low-literacy, untrained people, the reverse, i.e. no information at all, can lead to more damaging attempts at health care.
