Nirmala Bhoo Pathy shared on her LinkedIn page:
“Huge congratulations to Malar Velli Segarmurthy, on smashing her Dr PH thesis defense at the Faculty of Medicine Universiti Malaya! Her research on palliative care in Malaysia, which I co-supervised with Dr. Richard Lim (National Head of Service for Palliative Medicine, Ministry of Health Malaysia), is a game-changer.
I am so proud of Malar – we’ve grown together, and in many instances, she has been my guru when it comes to palliative care and improving its delivery in Malaysia. Malar’s passion for enhancing patient-centred outcomes is truly inspiring and sets the bar high for future endeavors in healthcare.”
