Medical practice and health care are areas of confrontation between local cultural processes, national guidelines and international developments. In Southeast Asia, most societies are formed by different ethnicities. This reveals in the integration of pluralistic local medical traditions into a mostly biomedical healthcare system or their coexistence. In addition, a new market of global, alternative remedies (e.g. herbal energy products) has grown. Health-seeking behavior and beliefs about health practices deemed proper or improper are influenced by social, cultural, economical and religious aspects. In Southeast Asia, where people are confronted with poverty and income inequalities as well as social, cultural and structural changes as rapid urbanisation and an ageing population, health seekers are facing many challenges.? This panel aims to discuss the different ways in which Southeast Asian culture and societies are organized around or influenced by issues of health, health care and related issues. By debating concepts and approaches in this interdisciplinary field, this panel explicitly wants to extend understanding beyond the borders of individual disciplines. Contributions from scholars of all health-related disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, psychology, public health, medicine are welcome. Thematic clusters are possible. Key terms for thematic contributions: local, complementary and alternative medicine, mental health, psychiatry, medical technologies, globalisation, public health, stigmatization, identity.
