« In terms of motherhood, origins have a big influence on decisions, it is important to be open »

Dr Sofia Figueiredo did all her schooling in France before joining the medical faculty of the University of Coimbra. Today, as an obstetrician-gynaecologist, she assists women of all ages and nationalities.
