My Greatest Wish Was to become a Doctor

Salija Ljatif, graduated Dentist on Faculty of Dentistry / University Ciril and Methodius, Skopje, Macedonia


With the RHSP’s financial assistance I managed to graduate and improve myself as a person.


I was lucky enough to have parents who understood the importance of education, but without the help of RHSP, my education would have not been possible. I work as a paralegal in the Citizen’s Association Roma Resource Center in Suto Orizari where I assist Roma who need advice in achieving health insurance and securing health protection. As a professional and a doctor, I perceive this to be a significant issue and I am more than happy to be able to help and contribute. I come from an ordinary Roma family living in Suto Orizari municipality, Skopje, Macedonia. I was a RHSP scholarship beneficiary and the program helped me to complete my studies and develop myself as into a devoted professional doctor who wants to contribute to the community.
