Dr Martin Nguyen completed his anaesthetic training at Western Health in Victoria and underwent his fellowship at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Victoria, Australia. He specializes in anaesthesia for orthopaedic, thoracic, general and upper gastrointestinal, plastic, urology, ear, nose and throat, and paediatric surgery.

Martin is clinician innovator who has a deep passion for solving complex problems in healthcare using technology. He holds leadership positions in clinical research, medical education and hospital governance.

Martin is also the founder of Medical Pantry, which is what we will be exploring in this episode - a hundred percent volunteer run Australian charity, that redistributes surplus medical supplies to disadvantaged communities globally, reduces healthcare's environmental impact and improves access to quality healthcare globally. Medical Pantry has recently donated a significant shipment of medical supplies to Ukraine to help innocent people impacted by war.

He shared his experiences, challenges and plans for the future with Hanya Oversby last week.
