This study presents the contributions of the narrative format to the teaching of content related to health and disease. In this sense we describe the characteristics of this format and highlight its contributions in supporting science teaching and learning of different contents, in particular, those referring to the emergence of diseases. The researches intend to reflect regarding the kind of stories used in science classes, so that stories could be a vehicle through which experiences and events are communicated amongst people and could provide an understanding of the social and natural world. Hence, in this paper, we explore the potential role that narrative might have not only to communicate scientific ideas but also to generate knowledge and understanding of the phenomena anchored in rich and complex contexts.

Keywords : Narrative; Cotextualitation; Didactic mediation; Health; Disease.
