Introduction
Paediatric neurology is an expanding subspecialty in the Ministry of Health Malaysia, offering services primarily to children with neurological and developmental disorders. I started the pediatric neurology subspecialty training under Dato’ Dr Hussain Imam, Dr Vigneswari Ganesan and Dr Khoo Teik Beng at Pulau Pinang Hospital and Pediatric Institute, Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Management of newborns with refractory seizures and other neurological issues was identified as an area in pediatric neurology that needed to be developed further. I subsequently trained for one year at the Hospital for Sick Kids Toronto, Canada, a tertiary center with established pediatric neurology training and neonatal neurology programs.
I was attached to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and managed newborns with complex neurological disorders under the tutelage of Dr Steven Miller, Head of the Division of Neurology and a Senior Scientist in Neurosciences & Mental Health at The Hospital for Sick Children. From March 2015, I have been practicing as a pediatrician, pediatric & neonatal neurologist at the Pediatric Institute, Hospital Kuala Lumpur. In addition to pediatric neurology and general pediatric responsibilities, I have taken a lead role in developing the neonatal neurology services in Hospital Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia.
