Abstract: | Puts forward the reasons why sociology is important - and can be more important in the development of medicine in any developing country, but especially in the Republic of Zambia. The discussion centers around three broad heads: 1. prevention of disease - 2. traditional views of health and disease, the sick role and the role healer - 3. the organisation of medical care - the social situation within and between the various institutions available.
