Book Synopsis
This book is the first to investigate what role religion plays in health care in East Africa. Taking in to account the geopolitical and economic environments of the region, the authors examine the roles played by individual and group beliefs, government policies, and pressure from the Millennium Development Goals in affecting health outcomes.

Trade Review
"This book will fascinate scholars, practitioners, policy makers, and erudite readers alike. The authors leverage an impressive array of original evidence to present a persuasive argument about the relationship between spiritual and physical practices. This matters, and it makes for compelling reading." Ron E. Hassner, University of California, Berkeley
