Theme: Healing Power of Sharing Your Story

We all go through certain pivotal experiences in our lives internally or externally, and personally or professionally. The healthcare workers at our Hospital hail from diverse backgrounds working towards the common goal of providing the best possible care to those in need. Most of us have had to overcome various forms of challenges to be where we are today. Our speakers would share their experiences and how they were impacted by them albeit negatively or positively with the hope of inspiring others in the spirit of TEDx Talks.
