Roshit Bothara has applied his humble beginnings in Nepal to create opportunities for others in the medical world and been recognised with a number of awards, including the most recent one from Canterbury University.
Currently he's working as a paediatric registrar in the neonatal intensive care unit at Christchurch hospital, but he's also developed an initiative to connect New Zealand medical students with counterparts in Nepal, Samoa and Fiji.
It's all part of his effort to make sure everyone has opportunities for access to good health services. Roshit speaks to Jesse.
