Funded and setup by Roche but run by experts like me, this initiative aims to improve loccal healthcare approaches to several global health issues by fostering international cross-sector collaboration, addressing personalized healthcare and adopting digital health approaches.

Orang Asal Community Work

Orang Asal are marginalized minority communities in Malaysia. Thus, my work with them has strove to respect and assist them. Informed consent was always obtained before their participation. My teams have also provided them free food, drinks, clothing, health checks, consultations, and follow-ups. I have associations with the Centre for Orang Asli Concerns, Gerai Orang Asal, the Keene State Orang Asli Archives, and JAKOA.
