From Afghan refugee to British doctor: Giving back through telemedicine in conflict zones

Imagine growing up in Soviet-occupied Afghanistan, escaping to a refugee camp in Pakistan, then returning to Kabul only to flee again amid the Taliban insurgency in 1999.

His telemedicine charity Arian Teleheal links healthcare providers with patients in war zones. He joined us for Perspective.
