Dr Henry Howard - Effective Giving & Clinical Medicine

Dr Henry Howard is a junior doctor in Australia who donated 50% of his income in 2021 to charity. He has pledged to give 10% of his income to effective charities forever having taken the Giving What We Can Pledge. He’s also really interested in Medtech and entrepreneurship. We’ve really enjoyed talking to him about his career, effective giving and his thoughts on doctors' ability to do a huge amount of good through donating to charity.
