Dr. Priya Nair

Priya has a clinical background in patient services and spent six years working with medical tourism agencies in Southeast Asia before turning to writing. She covers Penang's medical tourism sector from a practical angle: what the hospitals actually offer, what the real costs are, how to navigate the insurance and coordination process, and what to do during recovery in a city that happens to have excellent food and accommodation.

Her guides are written for patients and families who are making real decisions, not for general audiences. She focuses on cardiology, orthopaedics, fertility, and oncology — the specialties where Penang has internationally recognised programmes — and on the practical logistics that medical travel guides usually skip.
