Singapore-based Malaysian doctor dies one week after rescue from Nepal mountain

02 May 2019

SINGAPORE, May 2 — A Singapore-based Malaysian doctor died today after he was rescued last week from near the summit of Nepal’s Mount Annapurna, where he was stranded for more than 43 hours. Dr Chin, who was a visiting senior anaesthesiology consultant at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, was separated from other trekkers while descending the treacherous peak, which has a higher death rate than Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain.

“His heart rate and temperature were both very low when we received him. He is suffering from severe hypothermia and has frostbite on his hands and feet,” Sanij Singh, emergency physician at Mediciti Hospital, was quoted by AFP as saying. “His condition is critical... We are doing what we can.”
