I have a charity called the Chain Of Hope, where we target children from poor areas where heart surgery is not available, and we offer our services.

It is totally unacceptable that there are countries with no paediatric cardiac surgeries.

I actually consider myself as totally privileged to be able to serve science and medicine in a global fashion, because science and medicine know no boundaries.

What I worry about is the lack of understanding in society around the world that there is a divide in the world between those who have and those who do not.

I dont have any regrets. I consider myself really privileged to belong to medicine and do what I do. I would do it all again.

As a heart surgeon I am on constant call, and when not researching or giving lectures, I like to be with my family.
