Does anyone know if there is an indigenous Afrikan term for iatrogenesis?
Here is the definition: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/iatrogenic

If it doesn’t already exist in Kiswahili I bet you could create it. It’d be some combination of “origin” and “healer”/”doctor”, so that it’s conveyed that the origin of the malady comes from the doctor.

That makes sense. I do think it would be good to have an indigenous term to explain yurugu medical failures.
