On the 6th of February the Mayor of Amsterdam, Femke Halsema, invited our prime minister to tour Amsterdam and they started the day at the brand new Amsterdam Skills Centre. The Amsterdam Skills Centre (ASC) opened its doors on 4 February. The training centre offers medical specialists and other health care professionals from all over the world an innovative learning environment with 12 high-tech operating rooms, operating robots, virtual reality simulators and educational facilities. With this ‘new way of learning skills’, the ASC develops faster, safer and more efficient training modules that enable medical specialists to handle surgical interventions in a short period of time.
