Abstract: Power and hegemony are phenomenon in the field of medicine as applicable as it is to human beings; however, it is not given much attention. In contrast to increasing tensions between the different forms of medicines, medical pluralism is a concept that appreciates availability of multiple forms of medicine in a health care system to address varying health needs of people. This study investigates the notion of medical pluralism amongst the Pakistani female migrants in London (UK) through exploring their medical choices and the factors determining their choices.
