Wonderful experience to get to know new people
September 01, 2024by: Lieselotte RegaI would definitely recommend IVHQ to others. It’s a wonderful experience to get to know new people, experience a different culture, to learn how they practice medicine in a different culture and to help with their volunteering projects! We only went for a week and that was maybe a bit to short to really get comfortably installed, I would recommend to go 2 weeks!
