Last Saturday, Columbia Asia Hospital Petaling Jaya successfully hosted our GP Symposium at Hilton Kuala Lumpur, bringing together approximately 60 General Practitioners for a day of knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and professional connection.

The symposium served as a valuable platform to strengthen partnerships between primary care and specialist services, while keeping our GP community updated with the latest insights in womenโ€™s and childrenโ€™s health.

We were truly honored to host a distinguished lineup of speakers who delivered insightful and engaging sessions:
โœจ Dr. Nicholas Lim โ€” Consultant Obstetrician & Gynecologist
โœจ Dr. Shrilekha A/P Suriya Narayanan โ€” Consultant Obstetrician & Gynecologist
Their sessions provided valuable perspectives on current practices and developments in obstetrics and gynecology, enriching our collective efforts in delivering better care for women.

โœจ Dr. Jayagauri A/P Balakrishnan โ€” Consultant Pediatrician
โœจ Dr. Sam Zhi Heng โ€” Consultant Pediatrician
They shared practical knowledge and clinical insights on pediatric emergencies, equipping our GPs with enhanced approaches to managing childrenโ€™s health more effectively.

Each session was met with active participation, thoughtful discussions, and meaningful exchanges โ€” reflecting the strong commitment of our GP partners towards continuous learning and excellence in patient care.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our partners and sponsors who played an important role in making this event a success โ€” Brego and Danone for their generous support, and Quick Stop Solution Sdn Bhd for the FREE trial and live demonstration of K-Laser technology, which provided attendees with hands-on exposure to innovative pain management solutions.

To all GPs who joined us โ€” thank you for your time and support. Your dedication inspires us to keep creating opportunities for shared learning and collaboration. We look forward to welcoming you at future events as we continue delivering better care together.
