Buddy
Heleen Koudijs, MD Global Health & Tropical Medicine.
My name is Heleen Koudijs, I’m the current medical superintendent at Lion Heart Medical Centre, Yele, Sierra Leone. I am a Dutch global health doctor by training. After training 3 years after my graduation from medical school to become a MD Global Health & Tropical Medicine, I have worked abroad for 3,5 years. First in Ethiopia, later in Kenya and now in Sierra Leone.
Amara and I worked together for almost one and a half year in LHMC, where Amara was our nurse-in-charge and also a member of the management team.
During our time together I noticed Amara’s talent in medicine, and I tried to encourage him and help him along on his journey to be more than the nurse he was at that time. I encouraged him to pursue a further degree and I am super grateful that iStepUp is willing to help Amara along.
