-.5pt"> a book that can be described as a 
trailblazer in developing

discussion in the field of bioethics, particularly for African contexts. The indigenous African title of this book, Hu 
ìwà síi bi Ènìyàn ẹlé ran ara 
ara: An Ethical Theory of 
Interaction in African Traditional Medicine (ATM), which has been 
translated as: ‘Act towards them as Human 
beings with flesh’ 
shows a novel and conscious return to African thoughts, 
this time not just for the sake of returning to African thoughts, but to engage 
thinkers in ethics and bioethics.

lends credence to the aim, which is to develop an ethical theory of interaction 
in African Traditional Medicine (ATM), useable in bioethical discourses. The 
field of bioethics appreciates contexts, which makes the scope of the book very 
-.25pt"> interesting. The book 
draws attention to an area that many researchers have not paid attention to, 
either because they do not believe that it is worth the effort, or they simply 
do not find it comparable to western practices. The interface between the 
practitioners of African Traditional Medicine and their patients’ needs a lot 
of study because of the high patronage 
-.75pt"> of traditional care around the globe, especially 
-.75pt"> in the face of the new normal the whole world is experiencing. 
-.6pt"> The World Health Organization 
-.65pt"> has noted that traditional health 
care is the most available in many parts of the world and can no longer 
be discredited as ineffective.

in the

mso-font-width:95%">good way to engage

of bioethics. It is 
interesting that the author has not claimed to respond to all the bioethical 
concerns, he says this book should open further discussion, and that much, the 
book has achieved. This book is coming at a time when the curriculum of 
bioethics is evolving and the need to pay attention 
to theories from the Global South is increasing.
