   Sammanfattning : This study examines health-seeking, healing practices, gender and authority in a charismatic, locally founded church, the International Church for Healing and Glory (ICHG) in Mbeya, Tanzania. Based on ten months of ethnographic fieldwork carried out in 2013 and 2014, it addresses the situation of people who resort to faith-healing in a medically pluralistic context. LÄS MER
