Established in April 2015, RCPath Fellows and collaborating institutions such as the University of Nagasaki (Japan) and Mahidol University (Thailand) volunteer their time to teach in Yangon over the weekend. Volunteers travel on their own expense and are hosted by the Myanmar School of Medicine. The current programme will continue until February 2017 and the team are planning to introduce the use of digital pathology facilities in the near future.
