Three types of medical systems can be identified in Cambodia : the western biomedical sector, either public or private ; the traditional practice, recorded on manuscripts, of a group of mainly male specialists, the kru Khmer ; and the folk methods, combining herbal, ritual and increasingly pharmaceutical components, that women use daily for their families. While the international aid agencies tend to adopt a more positive view of the traditional practionners, women's knowledge about care is widely ignored or even condemned by the professional sector. Yet they are the first health providers in a country plagued by extremely high morbidity incidences and a low utilization rate of the official facilities. While asserting that this contempt for domestic care evolves from a gender-biased evaluation of knowledge, this paper attempts to show why female domestic methods of healing deserve more attention and respect
