Editor’s Note (Prof Dr Norlisah Mohd Ramli)
Assalamualaikum and a Good Day to my colleagues.
CoR Newsletter, the College of Radiology first newsletter was created in Nov 2020, as another mode for the society to reach out to its members in adapting to the new normal situation of Covid-19.
Our first, Issue 1 – Nov 2020, was exclusively to commemorate the International Day of Radiology with the theme “Radiologists and Radiographers Supporting Patients during Covid-19” on 8th Nov 2020. I believe the article, which was put together in a very short space of time by our Radiologists and Radiographers from various parts of Malaysia was absolutely interesting and insightful. A very big thank you to all for their effort and dedication on the project. I hope our member readers have enjoyed the article.
Our aim for 2021 is to have one newsletter issue every 2 months – it may have an exclusive topic or a combination of smaller topics. We welcome members who would like to contribute articles suitable for CoR Newsletter to send them to secretariat@radiologymalaysia.org – for appropriateness, only articles vetted and approved by the editorial team will be published.
Welcome to our CoR Newsletter Issue 2 – Dec 2020. We are coming to the end of historical 2020. The year where our roles as frontliners, teachers, income earners, policymakers, family members and friends have been put to the test. As it is with all tests, some would fail while others would endure and overcome. Hence, the theme for this issue is about endurance.
It gives me great pleasure to present this article highlighting Dr. Ravi Mandalam, our member radiologist. He has conquered Mount Kinabalu fifty times! I hope his story will inspire all of us to endure and persevere when times are at our hardest.
I would also like to take this opportunity to wish our members who celebrate Christmas a Very Merry Christmas and to all members a Joyous, Prosperous and Safe New Year 2021.
May the new year be kinder than the current.
Thank you.
