This paper addresses itself to the history of pluralistic medical systems in Ghana. Case studies of the systems (traditional and modern-scientific) as evolving traditions with unique premises and techniques will be discussed. Modes of medical institutionalization, recruitment, training, and allocation of resources will be explained. Finally, this paper will attempt to explain the nature of the interrelationship between the two medical orientations in terms of their consequences in health care. The essay will focus on how medical systems are used by consumers and how medical systems are created, maintained, and reformed by professional authorities.
