Scholarship Recipient Testimonials
"I have greatly been benefited on the professional and personal front due to my participation and I foresee translation of the knowledge gained to the healthcare setup in India. I would request sponsors to continue and if possible increase the support for those participants who would be unable to participate in the meeting consequent to the financial hardships. In sum, my attending the conference was only possible consequent to the Travel Scholarship and I would have missed the benefits enumerated otherwise." (India)

THANKS TO MASCC FOR THIS GREAT ACHIEVEMENT AND EYE OPENER." (Kenya)
