Through 'Friends of Orsi', Orsi Academy wants to give every healthcare professional the opportunity to develop their skills. Although the operating costs for a fully equipped OR with medical equipment and an appropriate training model are high, Orsi Academy wants to keep the training courses accessible to every promising candidate, regardless of their financial strenght. Especially for young medical professionals from outside Europe, it is not easy to gather sufficient resources. Orsi Academy would therefore like to give them a helping hand.
