SANJAY GUPTA, MD – Saturday 4:30PM – 5:00PM
This week on Sanjay Gupta MD, Sanjay sits down exclusively with Malinda Gates to talk about the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation new project to provide women in developing countries with birth control. The initiative which will be introduced next week at the International Family Planning Summit is already receiving pushback, particularly from the Catholic Church, calling the program ‘population control’. Also, Sanjay looks at a new device that’s implanted – just like a pacemaker – but with two wires, inserted directly into the brain that helps treat depression. Plus, CNN.com’s Brandon Ancil & Wayne Drash introduce us to the palliative care movement, one that seeks to relieve suffering & improve the quality for patients suffering from a terminal illness.

Health care costs are rising in America while health care quality continues to sink. CNN and TIME’s Fareed Zakaria examines what we can learn from the rest of the world about fixing health care by examining the pros and cons of how medicine is practiced in the U.K., Taiwan, Switzerland, and a successful trial program within the U.S. as well. Zakaria also interviews Atul Gawande, MD, surgeon and science and medicine writer for The New Yorker, Game Show Network CEO David Goldhill (author of “How American Healthcare Killed My Father,” The Atlantic, 2009), and Washington Post journalist and author T.R. Reid (The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care, 2010) for practical recommendations on improving health outcomes more efficiently.

Loved th Gupta interview with Melinda Gates. She is a real visionary with great courage. I read about her contraceptive initiative about a month ago on Daily Beast. I'm glad CNN finally decided to give her some coverage and discuss the issue of family planning in poor nations.
