Dr Ravi Chandran is currently Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at the prestigious Gleneagles Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. He obtained his Membership of the RCOG UK in 1988 followed by sub-speciality training in Maternal Fetal Medicine at King’s College Hospital London and the John Radcliffe Hospital at Oxford University. He pursued an academic career at the National University of Malaysia and during his tenure as Associate Professor, was involved in research activities culminating in publications in leading peer reviewed journals. In 1998 he was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland and in 2001 was elevated to the Fellowship of the RCOG UK.

Over the last 15 years, he has been actively involved in the AOFOG and joined the Executive Board as Treasurer in 2009 during which time he streamlined the application process for scientific workshop grants. As Vice-President from 2013 – 2015, he led the review of the AOFOG Constitution. In June 2017, he was elected as President of AOFOG. During his tenure, he made it his mission to make the AOFOG a more efficient and pro-active organisation and one that is relevant to all member National Societies. Under his leadership, the AOFOG has promoted more scientific activity in the less fortunate National Societies including Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, Fiji and Papua New Guinea whilst tapping into the knowledge and expertise of our more developed National Societies from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and India. He has also been instrumental in fostering a better working relationship with both regional and international organisations such as the SAFOG, RCOG, ACOG and FIGO.

He is currently a member of the Strategic Planning Committee of FIGO and has played an active role in mapping the road ahead for FIGO. He is thus ideally placed to align the aspirations of both FIGO and AOFOG in an efficient and cost-effective manner for the betterment of women’s health in the Asia Oceania region.
