Health and Medicine in the Dutch East Indies: Medical Research, Health Programs, and Colonial Networks of Mediation

在前荷兰东印度群岛，不同的医学文化并存，研究那里的多元医学文化，将使我们在一个最重要的领域--医学和健康--更好地了解我们最近的邻国印度尼西亚。它将使我们更深入地了解荷兰东印度群岛的殖民遗产。它还将为当今印度尼西亚解决健康问题的方法提供新的见解，因为本土药物非常受欢迎。它们是由一个大型行业制造的，该行业目前希望扩大海外出口。

Investigating the culture of plural medicine in the former Dutch East Indies, where different medical cultures existed side by side, will bring a greater understanding of our closest neighbour, Indonesia, in an area of prime importance: medicine and health. It will provide a greater insight into the colonial heritage of the Dutch East Indies. It will also provide new insights in the approach to health issues in today's Indonesia, because indigenous medicines are very popular. They are manufactured by a large industry which is currently hoping to expand its exports abroad.
