Our team set up medical clinics and treated patients who had little access to physicians, pharmacies and hospitals. We provided health education, medical care, dental care, medications and supplies free of charge to everyone who came. This experience helped me to understand how important it is for people to have access to healthcare services, and it is one of the reasons I chose to practice primary care medicine. | Personal interests | Most of my spare time is devoted to enjoying the company of my family and friends.
