Dishaa participants tackle healthcare reform challenge

The first Common Purpose Dishaa event has been taking place in Pune, India this week with 40 participants from the UK and India. This year, the group has been set the challenge of figuring out what healthcare reforms would make heart surgery possible for only $1,000 USD. Over the course of the last few days participants have been sharing their thoughts, insights and experiences as they tackle the challenge in a variety of ways.
