Dr Ashok completed his Master of Paediatric Surgery in University Malaya, Malaysia in 2014 and was conferred his Fellowship from the European Board of Paediatric Surgery in 2019. His journey as a paediatric surgeon started in Sabah, state of East Malaysia, northern part of the great island of Borneo where he practiced in Sabah Women and Children Hospital, the only tertiary hospital for the entire state of Sabah.

He has extensive experience in paediatric surgery, with a special interest in Minimally Invasive Surgery (keyhole surgery) for children, a procedure that helps children experience less pain, recover faster & provides parents with a better peace of mind. His passion has always been to ensure his patients get the best quality of care which requires good communication with both parents and children while making the entire journey as pain-free as possible.

Dr Ashok also taught and mentored surgical inclined students and authored several international journals. His continued enthusiasm for paediatric surgery and his wide array of experience in this specialty will certainly bring value to patients locally and across the region.
