I found that in the Hemofarm Foundation scholarship in 2019. The program provided me much more than professional knowledge – it taught me how important integrity, timely communication, team work, and support are. I am grateful to the mentors and colleagues who believed in me and demonstrated that a culture of trust and learning makes every organisation stronger. I would encourage everyone who meets the requirements to apply and become part of this unique program that offers opportunities for professional growth and development," said Anđela.

“Curiosity has brought me to everything I am today. The Hemofarm Foundation program showed me how important mentors and soft skills are for every career. The most valuable thing I take from that time is the people and the sense of belonging to a community that encourages growth."
