The Malie Fourie Foundation for the Integrative Prevention and Treatment of Cancer
Dr Roche Steyn is spearheading the development of the Malie Fourie Foundation for the Integrative Prevention and Treatment of Cancer, in collaboration with a number of key individuals, including physicians, psychologists and lawyers. More information will be posted here later this year. The aims of the Foundation are as follows:

Integrative Research
To support professional and academic research into scientifically robust integrative treatment and prevention of cancer. Current scientific knowledge in various medical disciplines (including those that are not in the mainstream) must be seen in perspective, and must be appropriately analysed and synthesised so as to be able to be applied effectively.

Legal Support and Development for the Future
To develop a sound legal framework, particularly in the United Kingdom and South Africa, for the promotion of the integrative treatment and prevention of cancer. The development of medical practice (and giving guidance and advice to the public) must take place within the law (and with appropriate support from the law).

Strategic Management of Change
To stimulate the current treatment of cancer in the United Kingdom and South Africa to incorporate basic, well-established psychological and nutritional/supplemental elements in dealing with patients, immediately (pending the longer-term establishment of an integrative mainstream approach to the full extent that it is appropriate). Medical science, law, psychology and management must combine to provide the necessary know-how and impetus for pressing immediate change, and more progressive and extensive long-term change, in mainstream preventive and clinical practice.

Legal Support to Prevent and Redress Medical Malpractice
To provide support for addressing malpractice concerns on the part of doctors and patients (both from the point of view of preventing malpractice suits, and bringing malpractice suits where this is necessary in the interests of justice). It is important that there be well-recognised professional-medicoethical and legal accountability so as to contribute to the promotion of the highest standards of clinical practice. In the interests of redressing past injustice and preventing future injustice, it is imperative that substandard practice not be ignored.
