Dr Irina Webster

Irina then started her internship at The Komi Republic Women's and Children’s Hospital 1993 to 1994 where she studied to become a Pediatrician.

During this time Irina continued to gain more qualifications and eventually became the foremost specialist in her area of Women and Children medicine in the region. It was here that Irina started to keep her records and became interested in Infertility and other common women's health problems.  
Also during this time Irina has looked at both traditional and alternative medicine and developed a holistic approach to health. Unlike most western trained doctors, Russian doctors are not discouraged from looking at alternative medicine and are in fact encouraged to pursue a holistic approach.
