Candidate for MP: Dr Sapna Samant believes in wrap-around support for wayward youth (Onehunga FM)

Dr Sapna Samant tells Tim McCready about her career in medicine and film-making and the Green Party’s plan to address the increased rates of crime as well as tackling the wealth gap.

After qualifying and practicing as a doctor in India, Sapna migrated to Aotearoa in 2001. She worked and volunteered in various capacities for years before making the call to re-train and re-qualify as a doctor under the New Zealand system.

It was Sapna’s passion for activism, particularly against the Hindu-fascist ideology, that has led her to stand for parliament.
