David C. Chang (張智威), an associate professor at MGH, pointed out that medical narratives over the past two centuries have been dominated by European countries and the U.S. The studies have failed to factor in ethnic differences, particularly for Asians, he said in a speech delivered at the CommonWealth Economic Forum in Taipei last week.
