EP. 35 | Relight Your Fire | The remedy for health & education inequality and under-representation with Dr Devina Maru

What does a Doctor do when faced with a global pandemic, under-representation in the NHS, social and economical issues due to inequality? In this enlightening conversation with Dr Devina Maru, National Medical Director's Clinical Fellow, I find out all about the challenges that are faced by the NHS. But this is far from where Dr Maru’s reach ends; founder of Health Pioneers Charity, Dr Maru seeks to help a cause close to my own heart - the significant health & education inequalities that exist in communities through empowering young people; her philanthropic mission to change the lives of children. We explore the whys and how’s behind Devina’s solutions at the highest levels of policy-making and at a personal level, where she’s helped change the lives of hundreds of children. I hope you enjoy the episode.
