About a hundred students -- local healers, but also
patients with AIDS looking for traditional treatments -- gather weekly under
a glittering canopy at Dr.Sekagya's school for traditional medecine. Along
with the basics of hygiene and anatomy, students study the identification and
use of local plants. Meanwhile, spiritualists chant, dance and drum to call
down spirits and consult them for cures.
