Testimonials

"We had plenty of autonomy. There was lots of help available, but it was never overbearing and we were free to explore our independence."

"My time in the hospital was really interesting. The saying ‘you only get out of it what you put into it’ could not be more accurate. I had the four best weeks of my life."

"Doctors are so revered in Sri Lankan culture that patients rarely speak against them or challenge them."

"My motto is that you only regret the things you don’t do in life. If you’re thinking about going on a placement like this, that is what I would say to you."

"I saw a lot of cases of malnutrition and malaria while I was on those wards, which you definitely don’t see in Belgium."
