We set out to tell for the first time, the story of how people managed food allergies in Ghana. We learnt that while their experiences are similar to what we know in most western societies, there are peculiar challenges highlighting why we need to pay attention to the local context
See the new paper from George Atiim in Social Science and Medicine that begins to address the truly global problem of food allergy: "ne nnipadua mmpe" (the body hates it): Exploring the lived experience of food allergy in Sub-Saharan Africa. A copy of his paper will soon be available for viewing online, so please stay tuned and check it out on the Social Science and Medicine website. Way to go George!
