Neonatologist, Fitness Enthusiast & EUC Rider

​

Born and raised in Malaysia, Dr. Andra Malikiwi (better known as Andy) took the scenic route to Australia, with a medical degree from University College Cork in Ireland and over 20 years of experience caring for newborn infants. Previously, he has served as a neonatology consultant at Mercy Hospital for Women and Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s Hospital, helping to bring countless little lives safely into the world.

 

Being married and raising three boys, Andy understands the chaos (and joy) of parenting firsthand. When he’s not at work caring for his ‘tiny patients’ he’s either spending quality time with his family, talking to his camera to deliver tips and advice on his Instagram platform or cruising through different Victoria trails on his trusty EUC (electric unicycle). Fluent in Malay and Indonesian, Andy is always ready to connect and to provide support to parents of newborn infants inside and outside the hospital.

 

Staying fit is a priority for Andy especially in keeping his biceps strong to catch newborn infants at birth. And if you spot him zipping through Victoria Parade, don’t be alarmed as he is likely on a mission—either to review a newborn infant or to welcome another one into the world!

 

Looking forward to meeting you !
