Health care policy should be based on understanding of what takes place at the community level. This study explores how people in a coastal village in Ghana perceive and use modern pharmaceuticals. In this G speaking community, 35 kilometers from the capital, there are no proper health care facilities. Most people purchase their medicines in two drugstores which sell products that they are not supposed to sell according to government rules. The author focuses on local perceptions of anatomy and etiology and on people’s health expenditure. His book is a search for- the social and cultural basis of the popularity of pharmaceuticals. “Money be man”, an inscription on a local lorry, captures the villagers’ main concern: without money one cannot remain healthy.
