Have you complained about Government hospitals and public healthcare? Would you associate the word "Excellent" with India's public hospitals? 

In our first episode of A new kind of celebrity, we are in conversation with Dr. Uma Ali. We speak about why she uses the word excellent to describe the quality of healthcare in the public healthcare systems of India. She shares her observation from being on the inside of charitable, public and private hospitals for over 40 years. We go on to talk how specialised pediatric care is still in nascent phases in India. Did you know that there are only 150 Pediatric Nephrologists in India? We also talk about the plans of Kidney Foundation For Children to solve this problem and increase basic pediatric nephrology care in all cities and villages. A simple way to reduce preventable child mortality due to kidney problems. 

A new kind of celebrity celebrates people like Dr. Uma Ali who are bringing about meaningful change and working to make our society more equitable.
