Tuesday 5th June - Lenore Manderson- ‘Preemptive diagnosis, anticipatory prescribing and antimicrobial resistance in urban South Africa’
Abstract: Drawing on interview and observational data from public health centres and private primary care surgeries in Johannesburg, I explore local ideas of immunity, resistance and stewardship, and how these influence prescribing practice and the use of common medication. I suggest that health providers operate in a subjunctive mode, making decisions based on their understandings of how risk factors might be mediated by social and economic exigencies. In explaining the prescription of antibiotics for URTI symptoms, I highlight how decisions to prescribe are based on patient expectations, providers’ understandings of contingencies and taken-for-granted conditions, pathological possibilities and risks of future infection.
