Polish health cares long & winding road

It’s 4 weeks since I arrived in Krakow, Poland, on a 5-week field trip that represents the culmination of year 1 on the MSc Global Health programme.

Having been offered the opportunity to travel to either Tanzania or to Poland, I elected to come here to Krakow. The decision, in hindsight, wasn’t that difficult. In 2010/11 I spent some time working in Gambia and Kenya, I loved living both and am sure I will return at some point in the near future.  So there is perhaps a sense of irony - with Poland being less than 2 hours flight from Copenhagen – that I felt this may be one of my only opportunities to come and explore and work in a Central European country.
