Coloniality lives on through medical education

Medical schools must promote decolonial perspectives to counter the bias and discrimination that persists in medical research and practice, writes Thirusha Naidu

The long reach of European colonisation lives on despite many colonised countries having gained political independence. Discriminatory and unjust colonial practices endure through the knowledge, structures, and systems of colonising and settler colonial countries and are replicated in institutions of formerly colonised countries in a powerful condition called coloniality.1 Medicine was a crucial cog in the colonial machine.234 Wherever colonisation originated or existed, medical education is still influenced by colonial tenets, shaping future healthcare practitioners and practice.

The London School of Tropical Medicine was created at the height of colonisation to manage “tropical diseases” such as malaria that hindered colonisation of new territories.5 Under the British empire, the conquest of land led to the silencing of Indigenous people and denigration of their ways of understanding health, healing, and their relationship with the natural world.

Today’s world is shaped by this colonialism—the wealth of high income countries was generated by land theft and slavery, establishing a legacy of power and exploitation that persists to this day. Decolonisation is thus not just about former colonies gaining political independence from former empires but encompasses efforts to rebuild institutions and knowledge systems without the cultural and social effects of colonial era violence, racism, misogyny, and Eurocentrism.

Decolonisation matters profoundly to health because empire shaped medicine: from experimentation on enslaved populations to the codification of “race” in social and physical histories, to the entrenchment of western scientific paradigms as the basis …
