OMED E-Newsletter Issue 3, 2009: OMED Center of Excellence
This month OMED highlights the Endoscopy Unit at University of Malaya Medical Center, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The Endoscopy unit of the University of Malaya Medical Center, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is proud to be recognized as an OMED Center of Excellence. The unit is part of the UMMC which is a tertiary hospital serving a large suburban area of the capital city of Malaysia Kuala Lumpur. The endoscopy unit follows the tradition of the hospital, long regarded as the top medical center in the country. The endoscopy unit in the UMMC was the first such unit established in Malaysia and under the leadership of Professor Dr KL Goh has gone on to maintain its status as the leading center providing the whole range of therapeutic GI procedures as well as undeniable strength in research and training. Since 2005 the Endoscopy unit has opened its doors to foreign trainees. One of the proudest achievements of the center is the annual Endoscopy workshop organized in conjunction with the Malaysian Society of Gastroenterology and Hepatology since 1993. In 2009, we were honored by the participation of Dr Jerry Waye who delivered the Workshop Distinguished Lecture entitled “Exploring the Limits of Endoscopy”. In 2010, Malaysia will be hosting the Asian Pacific Digestive Disease Week in Kuala Lumpur from 19th-22nd September 2010 with the theme "Gastroenterology in Asia Pacific- Excellence in the New Decade".
