About

At UM Specialist Centre, Professor Dato' Dr Lim Chin Theam practises as a senior consultant in Paediatrics & Neonatology. His medical degree, an MBBS, was earned at University of Malaya, and he went on to secure both the MRCP (UK) and FRCP (UK) — qualifications that reflect recognition from one of the world's leading medical institutions. His professional journey began in the late 1970s and now spans decades, giving him very substantial clinical experience in the care of newborns, including preterm infants.

Academic research has been a significant part of his contributions. His work includes studies on vancomycin dosing for premature neonates in Malaysia, retinopathy in extreme low birth weight infants, congenital chylothorax, and neonatal resuscitation. He is also engaged with professional bodies such as the Perinatal Society of Australia & New Zealand and the Academy of Medicine Malaysia, indicating involvement both locally and internationally.

His long tenure, advanced qualifications, and broad expertise across general paediatrics and neonatology make him especially trustworthy for parents seeking experienced, well-trained neonatal care.
