The challenge of knowledge Embracing Western medical training and technology, she journeyed to Nigeria, the Philippines, Indonesia, and elsewhere. In these disadvantaged countries she was surprised to discover that "relying on existing indigenous medical traditions was the only way to economically and practically treat local people." She thus became interested in researching traditional medicine around the world.
