Occidentomedicophobia

Etymology: From occidento- (Latin occidēns, meaning “the Western world”) + medico- (medicine) + -phobia (fear or aversion).

Definition:
A fear, distrust, or rejection of Western and modern medical systems, practices, or ideologies, often rooted in concerns about institutional power, technological intervention, pharmaceutical influence, or perceived loss of bodily autonomy.

Occidentomedicophobia may manifest as avoidance of biomedical treatment, preference for non-Western or traditional healing systems, or skepticism toward medical authorities. It is not inherently indicative of irrational fear and may arise from personal, cultural, historical, or ethical experiences with healthcare systems.
