Join Tahir Khalid & Rabeeb Mirza for Tuesday’s show where we will be discussing: Healthcare and Coronavirus

Healthcare- A right not a privilege

The WHO estimates that diseases associated with poverty account for 45% of the disease burden in the poorest countries. Poverty not only causes disease but also prevents those affected from receiving adequate treatment.
Join us LIVE from 4pm as we discuss the need for access to healthcare for all if we want to improve a nation’s workforce, economy, and education.
