dr. Valda Garcia

FSP Process · Niedersachsen 2026

I am dr. Valda Garcia, a licensed physician from Indonesia specialising in general medicine with extensive experience in ophthalmology. After completing my medical degree at Universitas Pelita Harapan in Jakarta, I worked across clinical practice, emergency care during the COVID-19 pandemic, and telemedicine.

Since 2023 I have been living in Germany, preparing for the recognition of my medical licence in Lower Saxony. My German is at B2 level, and I am currently preparing for the medical language examination (Fachsprachprüfung / FSP).
