A Plan of Action is written about how the assessment should be done.

This plan will be presented to the GG&GD Utrecht on May 20th at the latest.

This year, they plan to visit Romania (among other countries) and more specifically: Sibiu. They're also in the position to transport materials and goods in their 40 tons truck.

Romania: placement two physiotherapy students Avans University Breda

Late November, Urgenta was contacted by two physiotherapy students of the Avans University Breda to inquire about a possible placement in Romania. Off course, Urgenta was willing to introduce them to some people in Romania and it seems all arrangements have been made already. The students will do a 4 month placement at the Physiotherapy II department of the University Hospital, Sibiu.

They'll leave for Romania the first week of February and will be home somewhere around the end of May. The technicians team of Urgenta will be able to pay them a visit during the upcoming development projects of April.

The students will keep us posted from Sibiu.
