SNOMED International’s Post

SNOMED International’s Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes individuals for sustained, outstanding contributions in the development or promotion of #SNOMEDCT and for global leadership in the terminology field. At #SCTExpo24 in Seoul, the organization recognized as this year’s award winner Dr. Md. Khadzir Sheikh Ahmad, former Deputy Director, Health Informatics Centre, Ministry of Health, Malaysia, for his role in strategically coordinating and executing the implementation of semantic standards in the Malaysian healthcare system. Dr Khadzir also established the foundation for Health Informatics Center as the National Release Centre for #SNOMEDCT as well as for other standards. After Malaysia became a SNOMED International Member in 2012, he promoted the use of SNOMED CT in other Member countries and generously shared with new SNOMED International Members Malaysia’s journey and lessons learned. Dr. Khadzir’s visionary outlook in promoting the use of SNOMED CT not only fosters collaboration and #interoperability, but has opened a new chapter in healthcare data analytics both in Malaysia and internationally.
