Dr. Sam Prince - One Disease at a Time

When we talk about the importance of access to healthcare being available to all most of us don't think outside the square. However one young medical doctor is doing just that. Dr Sam Prince is an entrepreneur, and founder of the Emagine foundation and One Disease at a Time. The Emagine foundation began work in 2007 and has built 15 IT learning centres in rural Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Cambodia to date, with plans for 100 by the end of 2014. Sam's efforts as an aid worker, a medical doctor and businessman were recognised on a global scale, named by the Junior Chamber International as one of ten Outstanding Young People of the World in 2008. Sam was also named My Business Best young entrepreneur, FCA Corporate responsibility award, My Business Best retailer, Anthill top 30 under 30, Deloitte Best emerging entrepreneur and Sir Edward Dunlop fellow.
