The Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) clinic

The Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) clinic was started in 2024, led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nani binti Draman and her team. 

Our team is committed to providing high-quality healthcare services to facilitate patient management. Our team consists of skilled and compassionate healthcare professionals such as medical officers and family medicine specialists. 

We understand the importance of each ultrasound scan. We conduct bedside ultrasound screenings with our ultrasound machine, not just as images on a screen, but as crucial pieces of information that can guide medical decisions, provide clarity, and ultimately save lives. This ensures that patients receive the best healthcare services.
