In this episode, we are in conversation with Dr Intikhab Zafurallah (Zaf). Zaf has a wide portfolio of work, including a huge contribution to charity work supporting the delivery of life-saving cardiac surgery to children for whom it would not normally be available.

Zaf's sense of mission and commitment to equity come through very strongly in this conversation. We cover topics including Zaf's personal motivation behind his humanitarian work, the ethics of decision-making in different contexts, the emotional impact of high-risk healthcare in low resource settings, how joy can flourish amid hardship, the importance of getting to know your colleagues, how we can cross-pollinate learning across very different settings, Zaf's thoughts on mentorship and training, and more.
