Podcast: Walking in Two Worlds: Holistic Care, Culture and Country with Dr Kelvin Kong

In this episode of the Doctor’s Lounge podcast, we’re joined by a trailblazing Australian surgeon who blends Western medical training with deep cultural knowledge and a holistic approach to health. From the realities of working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to the importance of keeping passion alive in medicine, he shares practical wisdom on balancing business, family life and patient care.We explore traditional bush medicine, the value of listening, and why true healthcare goes beyond procedures to understanding fears, culture, food security and the social forces shaping health. This conversation shines a light on community, country and creating systems that help all Australians live well.
