SJMC’s bold women redefine medical might

At SJMC (Subang Jaya Medical Centre), three women aren’t just doctors—they’re dynamos smashing medical stereotypes.

Dr Jeyanthi Kulasegarah, Datin Dr Sharmila Sachithanandan, and Dr Sofiah Ali wield scalpels and stethoscopes with grit, proving gender’s no barrier in healthcare.

From ENT surgery to gastroenterology and paediatric neurology, they’re rewriting the rules in a field long ruled by men. Based in Subang Jaya, SJMC is their launchpad, and their tales pack a punch.

The standout truth hits hard: these women don’t flinch. “Surgery isn’t about gender—it’s skill and mindset,” says Dr Jeyanthi, an ENT surgeon with 16 years of training.

She’s right. Datin Dr Sharmila, a gastroenterologist, and Dr Sofiah, a paediatric neurologist, echo her fire.

They tackle bias, juggle life, and lead with guts, showing SJMC as a hub where women thrive—and patients win.

How SJMC’s women defy old norms

SJMC spotlights resilience. Dr Jeyanthi laughs off the “women can’t cut it” myth.

Two fellowships and a stint heading Universiti Malaya’s ENT department prove her point—endurance trumps muscle.

“Women belong everywhere in medicine,” she declares.

Her paediatric ENT work with kids—those “little superheroes”—shows teamwork’s king, blending speech therapists and radiologists into a slick unit.

Meanwhile, Datin Dr Sharmila flips the script in gastroenterology. Patients once pegged women as assistants, but demand’s shifting.

“Female specialists are in vogue,” she says.

Her push via the Women in GI Network Asia Pacific mentors rising stars, cracking open doors.

At SJMC, she’s not just treating—she’s building a legacy for “women-led healthcare breakthroughs.”

SJMC champions heart and hustle

These women don’t just heal—they connect. Dr Sofiah’s mantra—“love and play build trust”—drives her neurology gig.

She’s battled bias to spotlight rare diseases like autoimmune encephalitis, hitting girls hard. “Early diagnosis saves lives,” she insists.

SJMC backs her, making it a haven for kids and a beacon for “SJMC’s female medical pioneers.”

Also, balance isn’t a buzzword—it’s survival.

Datin Dr Sharmila juggles gastro scopes and family, laughing at her daughter’s quip: “You’re not a real mama.” Dr Sofiah leans on kin to thrive in a male-heavy field.

“Passion kept me going,” she says.

Healthcare at SJMC thrives on their grit—proof women can rule the roost and still rock home life.

SJMC isn’t just a hospital—it’s a proving ground. Dr Jeyanthi, Dr Sharmila, and Dr Sofiah don’t mince words for wannabe medics.

“It’s a marathon—pace yourself,” Sharmila advises.

Jeyanthi adds, “Resilience and support win.”

Sofiah’s blunt: “Obstacles? Smash them.”

They’re sculpting a future where women lead, mentor, and mend—bias be damned.

So, will SJMC keep sparking this fierce female revolution?
