Consultant obstetrician & gynaecologist Dr Premitha Damodaran and consultant urologist Dr George Lee weigh in.

]]> We are observing World Sexual Health Day which is commemorated every 4th September to promote sexual health, well-being and rights for all. This year’s theme is Sexual Health in a Digital World, and that’s exactly what we want to explore today: what is sexual health in a digital world and how has the pandemic affected access to sexual health information and care? While there is easier access to sexual and reproductive health information online, are people accessing the right information? Consultant urologist Dr George Lee is joined by Fara Rom, Board Member for Reproductive Rights Advocacy Alliance Malaysia (RRAAM) and Founder of FYIKL (For Youth Initiative KL) to discuss more.

Dr George Lee returns to discuss the latest medical news. Expect deep insights delivered with generous humour. We’re celebrating Father’s Day this Sunday. People make jokes about not being able to understand the female mind, but to be honest, little is known about the male psyche as well. What are the complex psychosocial issues that affect men throughout the different life stages? We have two fathers in the studio, consultant urologist Dr George Lee and consultant clinical psychologist Paul Jambunathan, to talk about how boys become men.

Dr George Lee returns to discuss the latest medical news. Expect deep insights delivered with generous humour. Olympic gold medallist Mokgadi Caster Semenya is a South African female athlete who has been barred from competing internationally under the women’s category in running events. It’s not because she took illegal performance-enhancing drugs or changed her body artificially. It’s because she was born as a woman with higher-than-usual testosterone levels. Consultant urologist Dr George Lee helps us to understand Semenya’s situation and what it means for female athletes.
