Dr Brett Lyndall Singh: rejected by SA only to rise to Forbes Africa’s 30 under 30 list

Loading player...
Some people are fortunate enough to realise their life purpose at a very young age. Dr Brett Lyndall Singh knew he wanted to be a healer when he was in primary school. His failure to resuscitate his ill grandmother during adolescence cemented his drive to acquire the necessary skills to save lives and, despite not finding a place at any medical school in South Africa, this is exactly what he did. Dr Singh spent 10 years in China gaining extensive medical experience and discovering his flair and passion for entrepreneurship.

It’s no wonder that Dr Singh was recently selected as one of Forbes Africa’s 30 under 30 innovators. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
