Such an important text. And thank you for problematizing Euro-Western-centric health systems and knowledges. Some of us have raised that many Euro-Eastern knowledges are commonly dismissed, thus I so appreciate the distinction made and will use your terminology and cite this work
A lot of forthright speaking in this paper about #Epistemicide & #PlanetaryHealth. Co written with 3 Indigenous experts. So grateful @PLOSGPH had the insight and courage to publish it. @paimadhu @JuliaE_Robinson @DrNicoleRedvers @drmattjharris
