Dr Binita Kane is a Consultant Respiratory Physician in Manchester. She was a contributor to the award-winning BBC1 Documentary ‘My Family Partition and Me’ which aired in 2017 for the 70th Anniversary of the Partition of India. Her personal journey retracing her young father’s escape from genocide in 1947, his harrowing experience as a refugee and eventual migration to the UK as a doctor, led her to Parliament in 2018 to campaign for decolonisation of the school curriculum and commemoration of key British South-Asian historical events.

Together with Jasvir Singh CBE, in 2018 she went on to co-found South Asian Heritage Month, which aims to celebrate, commemorate and educate the wider public about the impact of British-South Asian history and heritage on modern day Britain, with the goal of improving social cohesion. This work has led to her championing equality, diversity and inclusion UK-wide, but particularly in public sector organisations.

She is also an advocate for patient voice within the medical field and works with both adult and children’s charities.
