It has been correctly stated that “Anaesthetists are the acclaimed pioneers of patient safety, well-being, recovery and comfort”. This holds true in the case of renowned anaesthetist Dr. Rowan Molnar.

Biography

Born on 7th November, 1961 in London, England, Dr Molnar is a highly regarded and recognized pioneer in this field. His passion for excellence in every facet of his professional career has been demonstrated in the many years of service he has rendered to the medical community.

Dr. Molnar currently holds the position of Director of Anaesthesia at a major Australian Government Project in Papua New Guinea. His clinical interests include:


 * Anaesthesia for major surgery, with a current focus on complex tumour surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery.
 * Invasive monitoring, maintaining cardiac output and delivery, and other measures to alleviate risks in surgeries.

Backed by many years of experience at a tertiary referral hospital both locally and internationally, Dr. Molnar has hands-on expertise in his niche. He is highly regarded and respected by patients who stand testament to his exemplary standard of service and integrity. He has also taken a keen interest in medical education with particular leaning towards simulation based training. Dr. Molnar has expertise in handling different aspects of this mode of teaching, be it in establishment, deployment or implementation.

He enjoys a sense of adventure and is often nicknamed ‘The Flying Doctor’ as he spends his spare time flying the Jabiru, which is an Australian designed aircraft.

As an author, he has won many prestigious awards and has published his work in leading medical journals, globally. With over twenty five years of rich and varied experience in the field of anaesthesia, Dr. Molnar’s valued contribution is a result of practical experience as well as his association with leading US based institutions such as Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston and John Hopkins Medical Centre, Baltimore, and University of California.
