Traditional healers in tribal communities play a multifaceted role, encompassing spiritual guidance, herbal remedies, and the performance of rituals and ceremonies.

Cultural sensitivity in healthcare involves respecting patients' beliefs and values, using culturally appropriate language, and providing care that is tailored to the patient's cultural context.

Integrating traditional and western medicine in tribal health faces challenges such as lack of communication, differences in medical philosophies and practices, and resistance from patients to new medical approaches.

Effective integration of traditional and western medicine in tribal health requires collaborative relationships, culturally appropriate education, research on traditional medicine, and policy changes.

Integrating traditional and western medicine in tribal health can lead to improved patient outcomes, increased patient satisfaction, preservation of cultural heritage, and reduced healthcare costs.
