Abstract
Dear Editor, Medical education in Western African countries is at a very important evolution stage: how to integrate occidental research modalities into traditional beliefs? How to accommodate both? We agree with the opinion expressed by Dr Kieran Walsh saying “insight into beliefs alone is insufficient”; before changing things, things have to be described. With our previous article, we just focused on a description of such beliefs as the first step of any educational process.
