Vivek Hallegere Murthy Recalls India Experience During U.S. Senate Hearing
Describing himself as son of an immigrant parent, Murthy, 36, said his grandfather was a poor farmer, who fought for freedom in India.
Senator Tom Harkin, Chairman of the Senate Health Committee said should that Murthy be confirmed, his calm demeanour, his excellent ability to communicate with Americans from all backgrounds, and his medical and public health expertise will be invaluable assets during the times that Americans are most concerned about their health and safety.
"He is an extraordinary physician, and exceptionally well-qualified to lead our national prevention and wellness efforts," Harkin said.
Murthy is co-founder and president of Doctors for America, a position he has held since 2009.
In his remarks, Senator Lamar Alexander was highly critical of Murthy and described him more as a political appointment rather than having enough credentials to occupy the top health care post of the country.
Alexander was also very critical of Murthy's views on the sensitive issue of gun control.
