The refugee turned doctor saw first-hand how health systems can fail.. with deadly consequences.

Growing up, in war-torn Africa, Garang Dut wanted to make the world a better place and now he's using his experience to reshape Australia's healthcare system.

He's worked immunising refugee communities, and improving access to care for Indigenous Australians. And is now working at ANU and with the department of prime minister and cabinet.
