Abstract
We were concerned with the Great Traditions of Chinese, Hindu and Arabic medicine, particularly in relation to the emergence of "Western" or international scientific medicine in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Analyses of these traditions are theoretically important for medical sociology and relevant to the practical problems of improving medical care. The symposium here recorded was devoted to these problems.
