Ms. Viktoriia is a doctor by education and also has considerable managerial experience. Therefore, in this episode, the interlocutors focused on healthcare institution management. However, this conversation is not about formal management processes but primarily the experience, changes, and challenges —> https://li.sten.to/g2fct834.
