He is the founder & CEO of the Pakistan Children’s Heart Foundation, a non-governmental organization working to build a charity heart hospital in Lahore, Pakistan.

He talks about the problems he and his countrymen have if they are to solve the persistently high percentage of children born in his country with congenital heart defects.
