Besides the general orthopedic practice he is specialized in paediatric orthopedics (children). He received his orthopedic training in Amsterdam, at the “Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis (OLVG). He has always had the desire to work in developing countries to help improve paediatric orthopedic care and was very pleased that he could go to Tanzania on behalf of the Njokuti foundation. He has been in Tanzania two times now and the next one is in the near future. The continuity that the orthopedic surgeons of the “Groene Hart Hospital” are offering ensures that the follow-up of the Tanzanian patients is becoming increasingly effective.
