It explores transformative power of compassionate and grounded leadership in healthcare, focusing on the core principles of purpose, humility, and accessibility. With the current landscape of global healthcare amidst unprecedented demands, the discussion around holistic and humane leadership is more important than ever as well as retaining the core essence of healthcare: altruism and healing.
