IDCMR Background
In order to develop the oral health resource capacity among the Mekong River Region countries, International Dental Collaboration of the Mekong River Region (IDCMR) was established. Dental education institutes in Cambodia, PR China, Laos PDR, Thailand and Vietnam formally joined as members by signing an IDCMR Memorandum of Understanding at the first congress on 7-8 June 2004 in Bangkok under the theme “Practical Points in Dentistry: The Alternatives.” Subsequently, the IDCMR Secretariat Office at the Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University was founded by IDCMR Executive Members.
