Good morning, Dr Kumar. Thank you for taking time out from your busy schedule to talk to us. Let's get straight to the interview, shall we? Can you share with us the journey that took you into dentistry? What then led you to pursue further medical training?
Dr Samintharaj Kumar: Good morning to you as well! It’s a pleasure to speak with Prime. Now, onto your question. When I was 13 years old, I once happened to observe children with unique and curious head shapes at KK (Kandang Kerbau) Hospital while I was in the hospital lift. This incident fascinated me and sparked a deep interest in pursuing a career where I could help to treat such patients. Craniofacial surgery would become my initial focus in healthcare.
