introduction Dear Alumni, We prepare our students for international careers as researchers, executives or advisors in clinical medicine, drug research, public health and healthpolicy development. Our work has three main objectives: to help identify the determinants of health and disease, to find factors that contribute to the efficiency of health services, and to further develop methods for acquiring and interpreting medical data. In the years ahead, important discoveries will be made in the medical sciences. Some of them will be made by NIHES partner institutes, who are now conducting a huge amount of strategic medical research. Our graduates today will embark on international careers as researchers, executives and advisors in the health sciences. Because health matters for patients and populations. At NIHES, we are proud to help such talented health professionals realize their highest ambitions and we applaud our alumni with their great accomplishments. Prof. Albert Hofman, MD, PhD Science Director, Netherlands Institute for Health Sciences
