In this study, I employed interpretive ethnographic qualitative design to explore perceptions of and proposals from traditional healers, biomedical practitioners, and health care consumers regarding integrating traditional medicine and healing in Ghana. Data were gathered through focus groups, in-depth individual interviews, and qualitative questionnaires and analyzed thematically. The results revealed positive attitudes toward integrating traditional medicine in Ghana and a discursive discourse of power relations. The power imbalance between biomedical and traditional practitioners regarding what integrative models to adopt is sanctioned by formal education and institutional structure. As a result, multiple approaches for integration were made, including patient co-referrals, collaborations between biomedical and traditional medical practitioners, and creating a unit for traditional medicine and healers at the outpatients’ department for patients to choose either biomedicine or traditional medicine. Incorporating aspects of traditional healing in the training of biomedical practitioners and creating a space for knowledge sharing were also proposed. These integrative models reflected the distinctive interests of healers and biomedical practitioners. Considering these findings, I recommended policy options for consideration toward achieving an integrative health care system in Ghana.

在这项研究中，我采用解释性民族志定性设计来探索传统治疗师、生物医学从业者和医疗保健消费者对加纳传统医学和治疗相结合的看法和建议。通过焦点小组、深入的个人访谈和定性问卷收集数据并进行专题分析。结果表明加纳对整合传统医学的积极态度和权力关系的话语话语。生物医学和传统从业者在采用何种整合模式方面的权力失衡受到正规教育和制度结构的认可。因此，制定了多种整合方法，包括患者共同转诊、生物医学和传统医学从业者之间的合作、并在门诊部设立传统医学和治疗师单位，供患者选择生物医学或传统医学。还建议将传统疗法的各个方面纳入生物医学从业者的培训中，并为知识共享创造空间。这些综合模型反映了治疗师和生物医学从业者的独特兴趣。考虑到这些发现，我建议考虑在加纳实现综合医疗保健系统的政策选择。这些综合模型反映了治疗师和生物医学从业者的独特兴趣。考虑到这些发现，我建议考虑在加纳实现综合医疗保健系统的政策选择。这些综合模型反映了治疗师和生物医学从业者的独特兴趣。考虑到这些发现，我建议考虑在加纳实现综合医疗保健系统的政策选择。
