Born in India and raised in Zambia, Africa, Zia U. Khan is a cardiologist, philanthropist, and AAPI advocate. Khan's father was one of three sons who were left fatherless at an early age when their father died and who were raised by their widowed mother. As a young boy Khan's father did odd jobs to help support the family and, with no birth certificate, made up a birthdate so he could go to school.
