PROF Dr Vickneswaran Mathaneswaran is a Malaysian neurosurgeon and one of the top in his field globally. Besides being an integral part of the Universiti Malaya Neurosurgery team, he is also an inventor of many groundbreaking innovations.
On this week's episode of Healthcare Today with Manvir Victor, he speaks exclusively on some of these innovations and studies that he has been a part of.
One of those innovations is the 3D printing of the brain, which is now becoming something that the medical world at large is taking notice of. In this video here, one can better visualise how surgeons can prepare better putting life saving techniques into action
Prof Vicky also talks about equitable access for healthcare and how it is something that PPUM, a public and private facility, innovated in early 2012.
Besides this, Manvir talks to him about the use of video clips transfer for mobile phones, which surprisingly began in Malaysia.
From this episode we learn that once again, Malaysia has the right ingredients i.e. the correct talent with great innovative ideas, but we need a better system to appreciate and promote these ideas lest they leave our shores for opportunities overseas.
With his team at PPUM, one can appreciate why our neurosurgeons are quite sought after by our neighbours.
