What I'm looking for

I seek surgical or emergency roles in patient-focused hospitals where I can apply operative skills, lead teams, and continue clinical development.

I am a dedicated medical officer with extensive surgical and emergency medicine experience across public hospitals and private practice. I have performed and assisted in a wide range of procedures including hernia repairs, amputations, vascular anastomosis, tendon repairs, and laparoscopic and robotic surgeries.

My career includes roles as Medical Officer in surgery, District Medical Officer (in-charge), and General Practitioner, where I managed emergency treating units, outpatient clinics, mass-casualty incidents, and wound care programs under consultant supervision. I have completed Basic and Advanced Cardiac Life Support training and specialized vascular surgery workshops.

I bring strong clinical decision-making, leadership in hospital administration, and a patient-centered approach, with a proven record of improving outcomes and maintaining effective multidisciplinary communication.
