Mayan Perceptions of Health

We are pleased with the response from the medical and academic communities working with Mayan health issues to using this site to facilitate communication, sharing research and practical ideas between academics and the many NGOs working in this area. Feel free to submit your reports, research or thoughts that you think others might find useful.

We have recently completed the report of our initial research expedition, funded by the Royal Geographical Society and the Oxford Expedition Council. Click here to read the expedition report and please feel free to contact us, or utilize this page, with any comments.

We are excited to be presenting our work this week at the Society for Medical Anthropology conference At Yale University. We hope this will be the first step to moving forward with our plan to make connections between those doing research in Mayan health and nutrition and the organizations in communities hoping to provide services that are wanted and needed.
