A family of medical doctors with a passion for Central America and a desire to do more

Throught their travels to Central America, the Ruwet Family made connections with numerous medical professionals. They  shared their experiences of medical practices and concluded that collaboration was possible. They learned to help each others and decided to go one step further with the shipment of medical equipment.

Jean-François has a  family practice in his hometown of Thimister. He is also a businessman who used to run a great part of his activities in Central America. He still keeps strong links in this part of the world that he has learned to love over his multiples stays. His knwoledge of the region and his local business contacts have been of great help in the logistic development of OJALA.
