PODCAST: A Philosopher-Physician’s Fight to Reclaim Medicine’s Soul | Dr. Vikas Saini (President of Lown Institute)

Abstract: "The enterprise of medicine has both scientific and moral dimensions, and they're inextricably balanced"

Dr Vikas Saini is a Cardiologist and President of the Lown Institute, where he leads a non-partisan think tank advocating bold ideas for a just and caring system for health. With a unique background combining philosophy and medicine, Dr. Saini has spent decades examining the intersection of ethics, evidence, and economics in healthcare. His work on the Social Responsibility Index challenges traditional hospital rankings by measuring what truly matters: equity, value, and patient outcomes rather than reputation and revenue.
