MAAH is a network of medical anthropologists who do research in their own culture and society. The network’s aim is to bring together medical anthropologists in order to discuss theoretical, methodological and practical issues in relation to health and culture.

The network has an international scientific Advisory Committee, consisting of:

• Sylvie FAINZANG (Cermes3/Inserm, Paris, France): Scientific coordinator of the network
• Bernhard HADOLT (University of Vienna, Austria)
• Angel MARTINEZ-HERNAEZ (University Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona, Spain)
• Mette Bech RISOR (University of Tromsø, Norway)
• Ivo QUARANTA (University of Bologna, Italy)

The network has been established in 1998 during the 1st Conference of Medical Anthropology at Home (Zeist, The Netherlands), on the initiative of late Els van Dongen and Sjaak van der Geest, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands.
