Abstract	:	This essay attempts a systematic analysis of health using the novels of D.O. Fágúnwà, including Igbó Olódùmarè, Ìrèké Oníbùdó, Ògbójú ọdẹ nínú Igbó Irúnmọlè, Ìrìnkèrindò nínú Igbó Elégbèje, and Àdììtú Olódùmarè. These novels constitute a foundational part of Yorùbá literature and the projection of traditional Yorùbá culture. This analysis engages with the four domains of health – prevention of ill-health; health promotion; treatment; and rehabilitation – as premises under which relevant portions of the novels were considered. The essay reveals naturalistic versus supernaturalistic dispositions in Fágúnwà’s explication of health, which has potential consequences for health and healthcare utilization, especially in Yorubaland.
