Doctors are promising to do more to recognise the needs of indigenous children in New Zealand and Australia. The Royal Australasian College of Physicians says it is taking landmark action - by releasing a raft of recommendations on how to provide better health care for indigenous children. They include doctors learning the colonial history of their country, and understanding how racism and privilage operates in healthcare systems. To discuss this and what it means Emile is joined by Dr Danny de Lore Chair of the RACP's Indigenous Child Health Working Group.
