TIME Magazine's health editors and team this year, have nominated Dr. Atul Gawande and Dr. Raj Panjabi as the most influential people in transforming healthcare in the United States. 

Dr. Atul Gawande was recently appointed CEO of a non-profit healthcare venture funded by Amazon, JP Morgan & Chase, and Berkshire Hathaway to focus on low-cost corporate healthcare delivery. Dr. Gawande is also a professor of Health Policy and Management at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School. He is also well known for authoring Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science; Better; The Checklist Manifesto; and Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End.

Dr. Raj Panjabi went to the US as a refugee from Liberia and co-founded the Last Mile Health, an organisation that trains and recruits community health workers in areas with poor access to healthcare services. The organisation played a major role in fighting the Ebola epidemic from 2014 to 2016. Dr. Panjabi is now building a platform for remotely training healthcare workers through audio and video sessions.
