Peter Decat is a family doctor with 20 years of experience as a physician in Bolivia and Belgium. He worked at the International Centre for Reproductive Health (ICRH) at UGent from 2006 to 2014, where he coordinated a multi-centre intervention research project on community-embedded reproductive health care for adolescents in Latin America, on which he defended his PhD in September 2015.
