    Abstract:

    Medical anthropology focuses on the health care model and disease treatment research in different cultures with the theories and methods of anthropology. There are two different angle of the view: biological cultural perspective and social cultural perspective. Medical anthropology advocates that theory and practice of diseases essentially should fall into culture category,which represents a huge challenge to traditional biomedicine model and systems.
