"Associate Professor Dr Loh Pui San is a Senior Consultant Anaesthesiologist and the Head of Department of Anaesthesiology, Faculty of Medicine, University Malaya. She specializes in the clinical field of transplant anaesthesia and perioperative medicine, in particular geriatric anaesthesia. A lecturer in University Malaya Medical Centre since 2011, she was also a Fellows in Australia and Cambridge, UK under the prestigious Commonwealth Medical Award.

Dr Loh believes as the world population ages and increasingly more older individuals require surgery at the end of their lifetimes, this is a field that deserves attention with equal focus, similar to the other extreme of age in children. She hopes to build the field of geriatric anaesthesia with multidisciplinary colleagues working in both public and private institutions via her active involvement in the Malaysian Society of Anaesthesiologists, Fragility Fracture Network and Ministry of Health. She is part of an expert panel in the National Clinical Practice Guideline for Hip Fractures in the Elderly.

Naturally, her research interest includes perioperative management of the elderly focusing on finding suitable risk assessment methods to institute early prevention and the effects of anaesthesia on neurocognitive function. By collaborating with both local and international investigators, Dr Loh hopes to increase the medical evidence in literature to provide the safest care for our older patients in the future"
