Dato' Dr Ho Teik Kok, Consultant Vascular / Endovascular & General Surgeon, completed the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery degree at the University of Malaya. Following the undergraduate study, he immediately went to the UK to further his training in 1999. He obtained both Memberships of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) of England and Edinburgh in 2003 and completed the inter-collegiate surgical exit examination of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons in UK, to obtain the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) in 2010. He was awarded the Doctors of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Vascular Surgery in 2012 by the University College London, The University of London, as well as the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) by the General Medical Council, UK. He trained under world best vascular surgeons from the Royal Free & University College Hospital, London and is a fully trained vascular/endovascular and general surgeon. He is on the Specialist Register of the General Medical Council, UK and the National Specialist Register, Malaysia. Dr Ho has worked and trained in the UK over 15 years. He has been recruited from London under the Malaysian Talent Corp Returning Experts Programme to Malaysia. ... See More
