“…To understand this phenomenon, one must take into account that biomedicine is one of several concurrently running medical systems in the region. Biomedical explanations must compete with accounts coming from: Ayurvedic, Unani, and Indian medicine in uences (31). In all medical systems other than biomedicine illness arises from a disbalance in the body's humoral uids, which causes excessive heat or coldness within the body (32).…”

Background: Accessibility and utilization of health care play a significant role in preventing complications during pregnancy, labor, and the early postnatal period. However, multiple barriers can prevent women from accessing pregnancy and neonatal care. The aim of this study was to explore the multifaceted barriers that inhibit women to seek maternal and newborn health care in Thatta, Sindh, Pakistan.Methods: This study employed an interpretive research design using purposive sampling approach. Pre-tested semi-structured interview guides were used for data collection. The data were collected through eight focus group discussions with men and women, and six in-depth interviews with lady health workers and analyzed through thematic analysis. Findings: The study identified individual, socio-cultural, and structural level barriers that inhibit women from seeking maternal and newborn care. Individual barriers included: mistrust towards public health facilities, and inadequate symptom recognition. The two identified socio-cultural barriers were: aversion to biomedical interventions, and gendered imbalances in decision making. The structural barriers included: prohibitively expensive transportation services, and ineffective referral systems. Conclusion and Suggestions: Increasing the coverage of healthcare service without addressing the multifaceted barriers that influence service utilization will not reduce the burden of maternal and neonatal mortality. As this study reveals, care seeking is influenced by a diverse array of barriers that are individual, sociocultural, and structural in nature. A combination of capacity development, health awareness, and structural interventions can address many if not all of these barriers.

“…One such institution was exclusively for medical Ayurveda and another modelled as a resort in terms of comfort, decor and ambience, meant exclusively for Western clients. This is an instance wherein the globalised Ayurveda, as Warrier (2011) argues, has impacted practices in its original locations. It is pertinent to note here that women's commitment and hard work channelled through the institution of marriage saved medical lineages that would have ended otherwise.…”

Gender, Medicine and Globalisation: The Case of Women Ayurveda Physicians of Kerala, India

Women’s entry into the exclusively male-dominated field of Ayurveda in large numbers and their pursuit of a professional career as physicians, observed since the 1980s in India, are socially and historically significant events. Their overwhelming participation marks a rupture in the unchallenged control of the field by men of certain castes and families of medical lineages for centuries. In Kerala, interestingly, this has occurred when women’s overall workforce participation has remained low. This article attempts to analyse women’s work in Ayurveda in Kerala and its consequences for Ayurvedic transformations in the state that are simultaneously aimed at consolidation of a regional identity and expansion of its global market. It analyses the experiences of women practitioners in the context of the local gender power dynamics and negotiations that define and direct their professional participation. How do these women Ayurveda practitioners negotiate forces of professionalisation as well as gender marginalisation? What are the various personal and societal resources that they mobilise to succeed as Ayurveda practitioners? Do their subjectivities, negotiations and resources alter practices of Ayurveda and infuse it with different sensibilities? Based on interviews of women Ayurveda practitioners from diverse caste, religious and economic backgrounds, the paper argues that women’s experiences vary according to their social locations and all women are not empowered or dis-empowered in a similar fashion by the same gender system. While globalisation has led to increased opportunities for women physicians, their careers and contributions continue to be restricted by the specific gender structures and ideologies that govern women’s lives in the respective local and global sites.
