How do cultural beliefs impact the perception of neonatal disorders?
Cultural beliefs significantly influence how neonatal disorders are perceived and managed. In some cultures, neonatal disorders might be viewed through a spiritual or religious lens, leading to the involvement of traditional healers or religious rituals in addition to or instead of medical treatment. For instance, in some African cultures, neonatal illnesses may be attributed to ancestral displeasure, prompting families to seek traditional remedies.
