摘要:For my internship, I spent 6 weeks living in Geneva, work- ing in the Child and Maternal Health department the World Health Organization (WHO) headquarters. I found the ex- perience to be hugely enjoyable, and a great learning expe- rience in both an academic and personal sense. Arriving at the WHO was a daunting experience as this was the first time I was exposed to such a large international organisation. For a young person starting out in the global health world, entering a building where so many world– leading experts work is exciting and scary in equal mea- sures. However, I soon settled with the help of my super- visor. I found the environment to be welcoming and relaxed, and I was able to get to know many of the people working around me. Every person I asked found time to explain their interests and current projects to me, includ- ing the director of the nutrition for health and development department who I had a discussion with about governance of the global food industry, an area of personal interest.
