Kuala Lumpur, 12th August 2024 – Over the weekend of 10th and 11th August, the Sime Darby Convention Centre buzzed with energy as more than 500 doctors and delegates gathered for the highly anticipated Healthcare Revolution Conference, hosted by Disruptive Doctors®. The event featured 20 booth exhibitors and was supported by Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) Sdn Bhd as a supporting partner, along with Silver Sponsors Novartis and KPJ Healthcare Berhad.

The conference, themed “Doctors Impacting Healthcare Differently,” was not just any ordinary gathering. It was a vibrant assembly of like-minded, forward-thinking doctors, united by a shared vision of transforming healthcare. The event kicked off with a compelling launch video by Disruptive Doctors® that powerfully showcased what the platform is fighting against—lack of opportunity, stagnancy, and outdated systems in healthcare. This set the tone for the entire conference, emphasizing the urgent need for change.

The event showcased diverse career options beyond traditional sick care, with doctors sharing their personal journeys, insights on how they transitioned into new roles and advanced in their careers, and practical advice for younger doctors aspiring to follow in their footsteps.
