WASHINGTON, Feb 26: Indian-American physician Dr Vivek Murthy, US President Joe Biden’s nominee to serve as America’s Surgeon General, has told lawmakers that his first and foremost priority would be to turn the coronavirus pandemic around, an issue very personal to him as he lost seven family members to the deadly disease.
During his confirmation hearing by the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee on Thursday, Murthy, 43, said that Americans are struggling due to the pandemic.
