    Doing an internship with CHETRE has been a delightful and enlightening part of my study. I came to realise how much determinants of health exist outside the biomedical aspect through this opportunity, and it has inspired me to do more work in this field and contribute to efforts to improve health equity in my country, Indonesia.
