This month, two new volunteers got off to a flying start: Hasan Özcan (left in the photo) and Amie Moores (right). Both come for half a year to gain experience in international healthcare and vice versa to strengthen LHMC. Until recently, Amie worked in the emergency department in London and before that in the so-called acute stroke unit, where patients are treated after a stroke. Her arrival means new input and attention for our hardworking nurses and relief from the many tasks of head nurse Mariama.
After graduating as a medical doctor, Hasan gained experience in the emergency department in Zutphen. He is very interested in Global Health and recently conducted research into the competence development of Dutch tropical doctors. Due to the corona crisis, he himself has not had the chance to do an internship abroad, but he will make up for that in the near future.
