In line with one of the SHS sector’s biennial priorities for 2010-2011, i.e. “addressing global ethical issues,” the SHS Committee in cooperation with the Health Futures Foundation, Inc. will document and review the bioethical principles applied in the practice of Filipino traditional and alternative medicine, as well as focus on the challenges to existing ethical frameworks deriving from ethical concerns and from the inherent nature of scientific and technological development. The study will focus on generating pioneering documentation of unstudied lumad medical and philosophical concepts and practices.

Referring to culturally distinct ethno-linguistic communities, Lumads often do not practice the mainstream religions and are located in isolated and underserved places.
The project will be piloted in Cotabato province where the Blaan indigenous community lives. |
