DUSHAN SACHINDRA INDRAKUMAR

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic trainee, fervently pursuing a career as a physician. My commitment to collaborative care is at the forefront of my approach, as I am eager to work within a multidisciplinary healthcare team to address both acute and chronic patient needs. My experience in a regional setting has not only honed my skills but also ignited a passion for continuing my practice in similar environments. My hardworking nature is geared towards making a meaningful impact in the healthcare sector.
