Today, we have the pleasure to speak with Prof. Liesl Zuhlke, a paediatric cardiologist in Cape Town, an emerging leader in cardiovascular medicine on the African continent. If you check her biography online you will find out that her major research interests lie in Rheumatic Heart Disease and congenital heart disease but today we will offer more than this to our listeners, we will find out from her about her life, her passions, and fears, why she chose this path in life, what inspires her, and what she sees as a hurdle in her job and globally in public health.
