Shakib Sana on his appointment
“I have been a general practitioner for 13 years. As a doctor, I experience many situations where the impact of health differences is clearly visible. I see it in my practice, but also during home visits. I have experienced firsthand the importance of good information provision. During corona, I and colleagues were involved in the creation of accessible information and vaccination locations in the district. I also saw it at the information meetings ofgezondheidvlucht.nl and Tussentelefoon.nl. That is why I am happy to use my experience as a general practitioner and scientist for Pharos. I look forward to furthering Pharos’ mission together with the other Supervisory Board members and the board. We face major challenges to ensure that the health gap does not widen due to increased health inequalities and the threat of digital exclusion.”
