Respected by peers and patients alike for his clinical expertise and compassionate care, Dr Suresh is recognised as a role model within the Asian medical community.

Dr Suresh Kumarasamy receiving the Lifetime Achievement award from the Asian Society of Gynaecologic Oncology (ASGO) from Prof Masaki Mandai, President of ASGO in Tokyo.

GEORGETOWN, Oct 22 — Gleneagles Hospital Penang recently celebrated a historic milestone as Dr Suresh Kumarasamy, consultant gynaecologist and gynaecological oncologist, receives the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Asian Society of Gynaecologic Oncology (ASGO), the highest honour conferred by the international organisation.

The prestigious award was recently presented in Tokyo, Japan, recognising pioneers whose research, leadership, and dedication have transformed the field of gynaecologic oncology across Asia.

Since its inception in 2009, only nine individuals have been awarded this distinction to date. This year, Dr Suresh joins an elite group, becoming the first person from Malaysia to be given this award.

“This award is not just a personal honour but a reflection of the progress we’ve made in women’s cancer care in this region. I am humbled, and I remain committed to pushing the boundaries of treatment and research for the benefit of patients everywhere,” said Dr Suresh.

With a career spanning more than three decades, Dr Suresh is widely respected for his dedication, clinical expertise, and compassionate approach to women’s health and cancer care.

His numerous contributions to the field include:

Establishing the first subspecialty service for gynaecologic oncology in northern Malaysia, transforming access to specialised gynaecological cancer care for women in the region.
Raising standards of care for gynaecologic cancer patients through innovation, research, and education.
In addition to his clinical role at Gleneagles Hospital Penang, Dr Suresh also serves as Adjunct Clinical Professor at RCSI-UCD Malaysia Campus, mentoring the next generation of clinicians.

Respected by peers and patients alike for his clinical expertise and compassionate care, Dr Suresh is recognised as a role model within the Asian medical community.

His dedication has not only strengthened the standard of gynaecologic cancer care in Malaysia, but also left a lasting impact across the region.

This latest recognition is a true celebration of Dr Suresh’s enduring impact not only as a clinician and leader, but also as a passionate advocate for women’s health.
