The Asian Regional Impact Initiative
The Asian Regional Impact Initiative will oversee a number of major projects in Asia. Some of the current projects are:
The Asia Regional Cancer Initiative
The Asian Regional Cancer Initiative is an organization managed by The Asian Regional Impact Initiative. The Asian Regional Cancer Initiative is a new cancer organization similar to Cancer Council Australia, American Cancer Society, and other organizations, and is actively starting to provide resources as provided by those western organizations. Our work is partly done as a joint venture with them.

The major resource initially will be online and offline cancer information in languages not currently available in Asia. The information will be as extensive as any resource available in the world. All information will be available for free.
Languages will be available for the following countries:
Vietnam
Thailand
Laos
Cambodia
Myanmar
The main difference is that it will be an organization that has the involvement and backing of many eminent individuals from North America, Europe and Asia.

The Doctors for Cambodia Initiative
The Doctors for Cambodia Initiative is designed to redesign the entire medical landscape in Cambodia.
Some details are:
** The Doctors for Cambodia Initiative will provide 190 medical scholarships to promising Cambodian students to study medicine at a Cambodian University. Each student is mentored by a medical practitioner from another country, and is required to remain in Cambodia to practice medicine.

** The scholarship program not only includes the provision of University fees, but also the full cost of books and materials, clothing, accommodation and utilities, food, and a further amount to support their parents and family.

** Students have the opportunity to visit overseas medical establishments for 2 to 3 weeks each year under the guidance of their mentor practitioner.

** Similar scholarships will be shortly made available for other students undertaking nursing, dental and pharmaceutical degrees.

** The Doctors for Cambodia Initiative is also commencing to support the seven Kantha Bopha Children’s Hospitals in Cambodia which treat 650,000 children, and save over 85,000 children’s lives each year. All of the free medical care in these hospitals in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap is of the standard experienced in the western countries, are operated by a Swiss Foundation and are totally free of corruption.

** Each student is sponsored by a medical practice from overseas and the students will be committed to stay in Cambodia after they are qualified.
