Meeting one of the pioneers in Healthcare

During my first week in Mantova, Italy, I had the opportunity to shadow Dr. Massimo. In the Carlo Poma Hospital, Dr. Massimo is the director of immunohematology. During the second day I was there, he gave us a presentation on the research he did with a university in the United States. In the presentation, I learned that, because of the research he did, plasma was used as a form of therapy against Covid-19. Although I originally believed that Mantova was such a small city in Italy, I now understand that this small city housed one of the many pioneers that brought a huge impact to healthcare and medicine.
