Some of our guest speakers...

set up his Foundation in 2015 with the aim of treating children with schisis in Iran. "It touches me every time. The look in the children's eyes when they see the result of the surgery. That's why I do this."
That some people do it, is not negative. But it’s more positive if you create a team that can do the job. Building a medical center that can operate without intervention of a high-income country offers a sustainable future in the regional healthcare.
