After discovering the appalling state of women's health in Nepal in 2010, he founded the humanitarian organisation Australians for Women's Health. Several times each year he organises teams of volunteers to join him on medical camps to remote regions of Nepal where they provide surgical care to underprivileged women in need. Throughout their camps, the team provide extensive teaching to local doctors, nurses, and midwives.
Dr Ray's latest project is to construct a Mothers and Babies Hospital in remote Nepal where they can base their life-changing work.
