Since joining FIND in 2018, I've worked with various teams within the Malaysian Ministry of Health - Director-General of Health's Office, Medical Division (Gastroenterology), Disease Control Division (HIV/STI/Hepatitis C Sector), Family Health Development Division (Primary Care and Family Medicine), Institute for Medical Research, Institute For Clinical Research, Clinical Research Malaysia, State and District Health Departments; and with in-country partners like Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi), Malaysian AIDS Council (MAC and it's network of NGOs) and Third World Network (TWN) on hepatitis C public health programmes and research studies. In particular, learnings and experience from the Malaysia HEAD-Start Project, which assessed the implementation of decentralized hepatitis C testing at Primary Health Care Facilities (Klinik Kesihatan) in Malaysia, was instrumental in driving the nation’s progression towards managing and upscaling of hepatitis C screening, treatment and care at primary health care level in 2020. Prior to joining FIND, I obtained my Doctor of Philosophy in Medical Science at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden, and have over 10 years of experience as an infection biologist in both Singapore and Sweden. In the year of 2024 going forward, I continue to work on extending FIND's diagnostic work in other areas to around the globe - cervical cancer elimination in Kenya, South Africa and Bangladesh.
