What is cultural health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
School topic: If you start treating sick people, you'll quickly discover that people from cultures other than your own often (not always) have attitudes and beliefs and behaviors that are quite different from yours and that make a difficult situation even more difficult. "Cultural health" is a term for a course that teaches you to be diplomatic so you can get the job done. If not ideological, it can be useful.
