Dr. Shetty came from a rich family in India. He had a good education and then trained as a doctor in India. After qualifying（具備資格）, he went to Birmingham in the UK where he received his first training in heart surgery（外科；手術(shù)）. Later, he moved to London where he worked as a cardiologist in Guy's Hospital. He enjoyed working in England but he knew that there was a great need for cardiologists in India. Dr. Shetty knew that there were very few hospitals in India providing good medical care for poor people.

　　Many very poor people cannot afford the cost of hospital care so they cannot receive good health care. Dr. Shetty believed that this was wrong and he set out to provide hospital care for poor people. In Kolkata there are well-equipped hospitals but they only provide health services for those who can pay. In 1987, he set up a hospital in that city and, in 1997, he founded the Manipal Heart Foundation with 450 beds for patients who need heart operations.

　　Later, he was able to set up the Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences in Kolkata. This center provides general health care but in particular it provides treatment for patients with heart diseases. However, he wanted to do more; he wanted to provide for people in the countryside. Now he has set up Coronary Care Units (CCUs) in the far-away areas of the northeast of India which are linked（聯(lián)系）by television to the hospital in Kolkata. Patients can now go to a local hospital with a CCU and receive treatment from a doctor far away through this link.

　　The cost of running the hospital is far cheaper than in many other countries. One of the reasons for this is that the doctors are specialists in particular operations. They may perform five heart operations in one day while in other countries a heart specialist will only perform one a day. Dr. Shetty's idea is clear. He says,“I have never practised medicine for my personal gain. I began as a social worker and I am continuing in that way. I dream, breathe and live healthcare.”He operates free on children and has conducted more than 5000 operations on young people from poor families out of more than 13000.

Beginning in October, more than 13,000 McDonald’s (麥當勞)restaurants in America will use a new variety of cooking oil. McDonald' s aims to make its French fries (油炸食品) and other fried foods healthier.

The change will not affect the taste or the number of calories in the food. But by changing the cooking oil, McDonald’s says, it hopes to cut by nearly half the amount of trans fatty acids (轉(zhuǎn)換脂肪酸) in French fries and reduce the amount of saturated fats(飽和脂肪) by 16 percent. Scientists believe that trans fatty acids and saturated fats raise cholesterol(膽固醇) levels and increase the risk of heart disease.

McDonald's new step is important because McDonald’s is an industry leader and other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead.

For McDonald's ,the action comes at a time when Americans are becoming more and more concerned about; obesity (肥胖) and are increasing pressure on food companies to offer healthy and nutritious (有營養(yǎng)的) food to consumers.

After three years of study, McDonald’s officials say they are switching oil that is lower in saturated fats and trans fatty acids. McDonald's says the change will not cause higher price for consumers.

Though there is some change, scientists say that the amount of trans fat in foods at McDonald's and at other fast-food companies is still important.
