A very enjoyable experience, once in a lifetime, this is definitely not the last time I come to Egypt. The academic program was very useful, to see how the health system in Egypt differs from that of Denmark, I saw cases that are unique to hot and warm environment, it is nice to see them in practice and not just read about them. I would definitely recommend SSS Cairo International Medical Summer School to every medical student in the world.

I have to say I was really enjoying Egypt, I was amazed by the Pyramids, it was very important to me to see monuments that are not only history of Egypt but for all humanity. as for medical program, seeing how you manage with less resources is great lesson for my futures medical practice.

I liked Egyptian people a lot, they were very nice and sweet. As for the clinical program, I like the doctors a lot, they showed us many interesting cases, and I had the chance to visit the Pyramids of Giza which was one of my dreams.
