Charles Leslie has suggested that the “medical systems of all complex societies are socially and culturally pluralistic”. As Western medicine is exported to all parts of the world, pluralistic situations are created everywhere, with an ensuing effort on the part of advocates of cosmopolitan medicine to establish its supremacy in a worldwide struggle in the medical division of labor.

In Africa, the incursion of Western medicine has created pluralistic medical situations all over the continent. But even before the era of medical missionaries and government dispensaries, the sorts of social and historical processes which can lead to pluralism were at work in some areas. The spread of Islam as a world religion with powerful economic and political associations would be one source of pluralism. The other more complex source of pluralism as I am defining it would be the development of indigenous states. We might expect that at least some forms of state organization would be associated with a set of healing beliefs and practices. It is tempting to mention that among the Azande, therapy for illness caused by witchcraft involved the prince's deputy, and the prince's poison oracle was an important part of his power.

The basic issue is the process by which monopolies on healing practices come to be associated with the sources of political and economic power.

It has been argued that Uganda's Eastern Region, of which Bunyole is a part, is the most poorly served by medical facilities of any Region in the country. There are no figures for average distance travelled to and waiting time at Nyole medical facilities, but a study from Masaka District, Buganda Region, indicates some of the difficulties faced even by residents of relatively better served areas of Uganda.

Among the Lozi, a development parallel to that of the Nyole abang'eng'a has been recorded. Prins describes intense activity in the areas of protective and destructive medicine. He relates this to labor migration to the Tansvaal gold mines and tells of the ‘night gun’ which was brought back to Bulozi from the Rand.
