Raphael Hui, former Head of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority Institute of Health IT and current Fellow at the Australasian Institute of Digital Health, joins us to discuss his path to public sector success, and his book on the subject “When Digital Done Right: Leading Digital Transformation in the Public Sector”.
