我们讨论了与南非保健系统的传统治疗师--桑格玛--合法化有关的问题，他们在管理和治疗艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面的作用，以及专业医疗组织对承认他们的贡献的抵制。我们列出了一些可以由传统治疗师诊断和/或治疗的疾病和情况，以及治疗的效果。最后，我们讨论了在一个社区中识别巫师的问题，以及这可能如何影响她们的合法性。
We discuss the problems associated with legalizing traditional healers-Sangomas-for the South African health care system and their role in the management and treatment of HIV/AIDS and the resistance of professional medical organizations to recognize their contribution. We list some of the diseases and conditions that can be diagnosed and/or treated by traditional healers and the efficacy of the treatment. We conclude with the problem of Sangomas identifying witches within a community and how this may affect their legitimacy.
