520 |a Buddhism has a long history of association with medicine and healing extending over two thousand years and embracing developments across the whole of Asia. It is now also beginning to make an impression in the West, although presently lacking a developed infrastructure of the kind established by Western religions like Christianity. However, while the connection between Buddhism and healthcare has long been noted, little research has been undertaken in this fi eld. Th is article outlines the ethical values which underlie Buddhist concern for the sick and gives an overview of the role of healthcare in Buddhism as it spread throughout Asia. Following from this it explores what many commentators have described as a ‘malaise’ in contemporary medicine and ask why it is that this noble art today leaves many patients and clinicians unfulfi lled. It seems something has been lost, and the article off ers some refl ections as to whether Buddhism and religion more generally can give an indication as to what that might be. Th e conclusion provides information about the work of Buddhist chaplaincy organizations and Buddhist medical charities.
