This dissertation explores the relationship between access to healthcare and traditional beliefs as drivers of modern medical care demand. Access to health facilities is a widespread barrier to the adoption of preventive and treatment health measures. In addition, traditional beliefs and consequent cultural behaviors are also a barrier to medical care seeking behavior. This thesis explores how the magnitude of believing in traditional theories evolves has the distance to the nearest health facility increases. | pt_PT |
