When Mayla Badloe started her first year of medical school in the Netherlands, she felt like a fish out of water. After growing up in Suriname, she was confronted with a world she barely knew in the city of Amsterdam. With all its possibilities and temptations, it was overwhelming. \u201cI'd go out all night, with no one waiting for me when I got back,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was very different from home, where I was raised in a sheltered environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her first year was therefore difficult. She struggled to balance her studies and social life. Everything changed when her father, a respected businessman in Suriname, became seriously ill. \u201cOn his deathbed, he said: \u2018Mayla, one more thing: you promised me you'd become a doctor. I expect you to do that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Those words made a deep impression on Badloe, who knows from experience that in Surinamese culture, bright young people often choose to pursue legal, accounting or medical careers. From that moment on, her focus was entirely on her studies. The parties, the nightlife, the distractions \u2013 they all faded into the background.<\/p>\n

Power<\/h2>\n

POWER \nBadloe has since graduated as a medical doctor and also works as a cosmetic surgeon \u2013 not to be confused with a plastic surgeon. \u201cI help people become the best versions of themselves,\u201d she says. \u201cProcedures such as eyelid surgery, double chin liposuction and fillers.\u201d She's also completing the final two years of her general practitioner training. \u201cSince my father passed away, I've been trying to transform pain into strength. He's my fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her mother, originally from Brazil, sometimes struggled with her ambitions. \u201cShe would say: \u2018Now that you have a degree, you should focus on becoming a mum and having children.\u2019 Very traditional,\u201d Badloe says with a smile.\u2019 Very traditional,\u201d Badloe says with a smile. \u201cBut now she's over the moon that I'm pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pregnancy hasn't stopped her from thinking big. She recently opened We Care, an international healthcare centre on the ground floor of Lange Voorhout 30. Doctors, dentists, and a pharmacy all work together under one roof. What the professionals have in common: they all have international backgrounds and speak multiple languages. Badloe herself speaks five.<\/p>\n

We Care already offers cosmetic treatments and medical support, such as weight-loss treatments, skin boosters and Botox. From March 2026, the centre will start providing regular care. Registration for the general practice is already open. Badloe knows many of the doctors joining her in the centre from her student days. \u201cWe used to fantasise about our future and how great it would be if we could work together in the same practice. That dream is now becoming a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Necessary<\/h2>\n

This collaboration forms the basis for her broader vision. In her current daily work in the Schilderswijk neighbourhood, Badloe sees how language and cultural differences can complicate care. \u201cThe Netherlands is a wealthy country with a wide variety of nationalities, especially in the cities,\u201d she says. \u201cGood communication between a doctor and patient is essential. It helps if you truly understand each other.\u201d She notices that patients often only fully open up when they feel heard in their own language. \u201cThen you see how they relax and more easily share what's actually going on. That makes a genuine difference.\u201d She wants to bridge that gap with We Care, and she believes The Hague is the perfect location for this. \u201cWith so many embassies and international organisations in the area, it makes perfect sense to offer care in multiple languages. This isn't a good concept \u2013 it's a necessary one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coincidence or not: this monumental building was once home to the enterprising Alexandrine Tinne.<\/p><\/div>\n

Coincidence or not: this historic building once housed the enterprising Alexandrine Tinne. A progressive photographer and explorer from The Hague, she also spoke several languages thanks to her studies and travels. From 1971 until a few years ago, the bankers of Van Lanschot had their office here. It is now owned by RE:BORN Real Estate<\/a>, a development investor, whose portfolio includes projects such as the Pier and beach pavilion EVE. \u201cLange Voorhout is not only the most beautiful spot in The Hague,\u201d says Badloe, \u201cbut it also exudes a mix of culture, entrepreneurship, and international allure. Opening a centre here that brings together healthcare and diversity feels fitting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hague isn't the final destination for Mayla Badloe. The World Trade Center (WTC) in Amsterdam's Zuidas district, home to over 300 international companies, is also interested in housing a We Care branch. \u201cThe target group is similar,\u201d Badloe explains, \u201cwith many expats working there and the location of the Brazilian and Spanish consulates.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Amsterdam, she's making plans further afield. \u201cI\u2019m considering the Caribbean \u2013 Aruba, Cura\u00e7ao. We're moving along with the world's transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n
