Hence their attitudes towards health and illness is also different.HIV,child health and maternal health,mental health and earlier aging are the health problems faced by the Asians.The factors like religious beliefs ,customary beliefs and the economic status of the people affects the attempts to compromise the traditional medical practices with modern medicine.
