Vivek Hallegere Murthy Recalls India Experience During U.S. Senate Hearing
Washington: Dr Vivek Hallegere Murthy, presidential nominee for the Surgeon General of the U.S. recalled his India experience wherein he helped train young women to be health care educators and leaders, during his confirmation hearing before a senate committee.
"I built a rural community health partnership in India called Swasthya to train young women to be health care educators and leaders. Through these experiences, I learned how to conceive and execute community-wide health projects that respected cultural and geographic differences," Dr Murthy told members of the powerful Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labour and Pensions.
"As a public health educator, I created HIV/AIDS education programmes for tens of thousands of youth through an organisation I co-founded call VISIONS," said Dr Murthy, who if confirmed by the senate would be the first Indian-American to occupy the post of the top American doctor responsible for the country's health care.
Introducing him before the committee, the Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren said that Murthy has demonstrated his extraordinary leadership and is fit to be the country's 21st century Surgeon-General.
