In the remote villages of Kerala's Malabar region, a self-effacing teacher from a tiny village became India's most admired health minister. Makkalin Thozhar is the inspiring tale of K.K. Shailaja a woman who changed Kerala's healthcare system through her leadership, compassion, and vision and gained international acclaim.
