LUNG HEALTH: Dr Romy Sohal is well known and respected for his World Health Organisation-published research on cigarette smoking and va**ng - also covering preventative protections for infants and young people living in North and North West Tasmania. Recently, Dr Sohal was awarded an $80,000 community-funded research grant to commence work on a project focusing on targeting fibrosis in IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). Currently deadly and incurable, the research on this disease explores blocking a harmful immune pathway to slow lung scarring - paving the way for new treatments and hope for patients.

🫶 Grants like this are made possible through generous community support of our Medical Research Appeal, launching soon.

Welcome to the Clifford Craig Foundation

Welcome to the Clifford Craig Foundation page. We are a health promotion charity that proudly supports the Launceston General Hospital, the tertiary hospital for north and northwest Tasmania.

Medical research is a priority focus and we enable our research teams to find better treatments and ways to cure the health-related issues that are important to Tasmanians. Notably, the research and educational opportunities that we provide are intended to help attract and retain medical specialists, researchers and higher degree students to work here and in Northern Tasmania.

Our vision is to be a leading health based fundraising organisation, trusted by the community and renowned for investing in a future of exceptional healthcare, research and education. For more information on our work, events or to make a donation please visit: www.cliffordcraig.org.au.
