When family medicine specialist Dr Karen Christelle sees a patient from the Orang Asli communities of rural Perak, she has to look at more than just numbers and tests.

The Orang Asli are not a homogenous group, and each community or village has different needs, mindsets and attitudes towards their health.

BFM looks at some of the main health challenges faced by the Orang Asli of rural Perak, and dives into how family medicine specialists and primary care providers address these issues.
