In much of the western world, biomedicine has emerged as the dominant, or officially, legitimized health-care system.

The relationship between western science and the health and well-being of the Aboriginal community is explored. Topics of discussion include diagnosis and treatment of disease, access to health-care providers, language and the transmission of information, knowledge hierarchies and the ethnocentric basis of western science.
