Dr Alastair Yeoh is a Junior Doctor in the UK who recently returned from working in Ethiopia with Medicins Sans Frontieres. He also worked in Zambia and is looked to pursue a career in infectious diseases and global health. He’s also passionate about effective giving, having taken the GWWC pledge in 2019 and currently donates 20% of his income after tax to effective charities. We really enjoyed talking to him about his career and his thoughts on impact in medicine.
