I had the honour of working together with Dr Newton on a major project launch in China. Robert was a guest expert to help introduce cancer programs for recovery and treatment into the China market. The project kicked off strongly with Roberts support and continues to build momentum in China with his ongoing support. I have always found Robert to be an exceptional professional who is passionate about his work and contribution to the better health and wellbeing of people around the world.
