Abstract
Abstract:The choice of the therapeutic route by the populations in Côte d’Ivoire is a real problem of public health. In fact, most of the time, the populations, in particular those of the North use to be cured with traditional medicine. They often justify this choice by the distance, the insufficiency and\or the lack of public health centers. That is why, since 2003, the government leads the politics of populations link by creating health centers of closeness. This policy has for objective to reduce distance between health centers and communities and to facilitate the access to healthcare of health. However, in spite of the creation of health centers of closeness in Poro region, populations did not totally change their habit and behavior. They are more and more directed to the traditional medicine to the detriment of the conventional medicine. This study aimed at analyzing the social logics which stretch out the choice of the traditional medicine by communities in this locality. This study with comprehensive purpose leans on a qualitative approach. Keywords:Therapeutic route, Traditional Medicine, Modern Medicine, Disease Origin, Poro Region.
