The Group's Foundation activities

Johannes Lorscheider

"The greatest experience during my scholarship was a birth I assisted at. Initially, I wasn’t actually supposed to work in gynecology and midwifery at the University Hospital in Florianópolis, but rather in surgery. But I don’t regret it – my time in Brazil developed not only my career but also my character. In the six weeks of my stay I learned how to improvise, keep calm and cope. Those are qualities that will benefit me in the future too." » more
