Abstract
The care systems in developing countries are subjected to worldwide standard guidelines, in which the western voice is dominant over the local one. Our study aims to point out dominant themes emerging from western care system applied to non-western contexts, to emerge cultural sensitive themes in order to propose alternative local good practices. The two studies, the first curried out in Palestine, the second one in Uganda, have been focused on a content analysis of in depth interviews and representative documents of local institutions. A general unbalance over western criterion was widely identifiable in the two case studies of these papers. Programs of action research are recommended. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
