Short-term study tours within the Southeast Asian region for faculty members will increase their knowledge on the latest international developments in medical sciences. Information, library, and laboratory facilities will be upgraded through modernizing computers, software programs, textbooks, and journals. Internet connectivity will also be established between the teaching hospitals and medical universities.
