Forward on UROLOGY IN KUCHING by Dr Ganesh Gopalakrishnan
The Malaysian airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kuching made a perfect touchdown at the airport on a bright midafternoon in September 1999.
This was my first visit to East Malaysia and the scenic beauty of the countryside made the western side of the country pale away. Kuching was like ‘Gods own country’ and I was there to join my wife on a sabbatical as a urologist in UNIMAS.
There was so much of urological disease in Kuching and the number of urologists were few. The city was lucky in having Dr. Clarence Lei a senior urologist to shoulder responsibility but that could never fill the void between supply and demand.
Kuching General Hospital was the place where I was posted to work and teach the medical students. Dr. Clarence had worked there before he moved into the private hospital Normah Medical Centre. This was the only urological setup in the public sector for the whole of the state of
We had facilities for both endourology and shockwave lithotripsy. There was a state of the art ultrasound machine in the outpatient department of Kuching General Hospital with which we were able to provide an efficient and quick service to the patients. A quick scan of their kidneys, residual urine in patients with bladder outflow obstruction and transrectal guided prostatic biopsies in those with raised PSA to look for prostate cancer.
Urological services were also available at the Timberland Medical Centre where I was doing some private work once I was free from the work in Unimas . here again urological services in the form of transurethral prostatectomy, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, ureteroscopy and other open procedures for both local Kuching residents and those from across the border in neighbouring Pontianak .
