Hello and welcome!
Dr Muhammad Ilham Abdul Hafidz
Hello everyone! I’m Dr Ilham, your Consultant Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
ABOUT ME
I graduated from the University of Liverpool, and subsequently worked for several years in the UK. I mainly did rotations in the different fields within Internal Medicine such as Respiratory medicine, Geriatrics, Cardiology and Nephrology. During this period of time, I obtained my Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP).
I then came back to Malaysia, and consolidated my experience in Internal Medicine by working as a medical officer and later a general physician in Hospital Sungai Buloh.
I subsequently started my subspecialty training in Gastroenterology and Hepatology, gaining knowledge, experience, and skill, working with wonderful mentors and colleagues at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Hospital Ampang, Hospital Kuala Lumpur, and Hospital Queen Elizabeth, Kota Kinabalu. I did Advanced Endoscopy in my final year of training at Hospital Queen Elizabeth, focusing primarily on Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
After completing my Gastroenterology and Hepatology training, I served as Consultant Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist at Hospital Al-Sultan Abdullah UiTM in Puncak Alam, Selangor. I now work in Sunway Medical Centre Damansara.
When I’m not working, I like to read books, do a bit of exercise, and cook for my hungry children.
