Palliative Medicine Consultant
Sarawak General Hospital

Sharon is the first Palliative Medicine Consultant in Sarawak and had been working as a general physician in Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) before subspecializing in Palliative Medicine as there is a growing need and demand for palliative care in Sarawak.
She is currently leading the Palliative Care Unit in SGH and initiated the statewide domiciliary palliative care program, so that patients have access to palliative care even in the community. Sharon is actively involved in regional and international collaboration with American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and Asia Pacific Hospice Palliative Care Network (APHN) to develop palliative care services in the state and country. She is also involved in the training and education of nurses, doctors and medical students. She is excited in developing palliative care services in Sarawak, be it in the hospital or in the community. Her vision is to build Sarawak to be a centre of excellence in Palliative Care.
