Ep 48: Kiran Agarwal-Harding
Manage episode 368061791 series 2727534
As professionals working on a global scale, even the simplest of things must be challenged. Surgeons, lawyers, administrators, and many others, must adapt to become multifaceted individuals in this space. Surgery doesn’t just start and stop with the drapes. It involves supply chain, personnel management, legislation, advocacy, and so much more. In order to tackle these issues, it requires groundbreaking research to act as journalism to paint a picture of the story on the ground - the story of what is really happening. It is this research that helps to identify problems that can then be used to advocate for funding and innovation. Indeed, to challenge the current system. Our guest today exemplifies all of these attributes - a truly multifaceted and forward-thinking global surgeon. Dr Kiran Agarwal-Harding acts as the founder and president of multiple organizations including the Harvard Global Orthopaedics Collaborative and SONA Global, two organizations tackling both research and sustainability on a worldwide scale. Join us as we discuss GPS transportation barriers, shipping of implants, and even the invention process - conception of an idea, patents, and product testing, all the way to large-scale production of life-saving devices. You won’t want to miss it!
