| Description | Roma people, although part of the Czech society for several centuries, still show much difference from the majority population. The same applies to attitudes concerning illness, medication and health. The author takes a position of social anthropology to approach the topic. She does not offer practical solutions but looks upon the issue from the standpoint of cultural relativity and stereotypes adopted by either side. |
