Liene Cipule: You can learn a lot in life, first build a foundation
Liene Cipule, director of the Emergency Medical Service, advises young people to first acquire broad education and later pursue hobbies, as life is long. She herself would next study writing or philosophy.

Liene Cipule, the director of the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) of Latvia, shared her perspective on life choices in the radio show "Grāds kabatā" on Radio NABA.
