Women's health care prospects around the world depend on many factors, including broad social changes involving how gender dimensions within traditional medicine are transformed by global biomedicine. I propose a model that will help us to evaluate international health care transformation in Asia through understanding the specific impact of biomedicine on women practitioners of indigenous medicine. I suggest in the model that the relationship among gender, indigenous medico-science, and biomedicine is shaped by culture-specific and historical gender organization, the gendered knowledge foundations of indigenous medicine, and modernizing biomedical and Western science influences.
世界各地的女性医疗保健前景取决于许多因素，包括广泛的社会变革，其中涉及传统医学中的性别层面如何被全球生物医学所改变。我提出一个模型，该模型将通过了解生物医学对本土医学女性从业者的具体影响，帮助我们评估亚洲的国际医疗保健变革。我在该模型中指出，性别、本土医学科学和生物医学之间的关系是由特定文化和历史的性别组织、本土医学的性别化知识基础以及生物医学和西方科学现代化的影响所塑造的。
