ANNOUNCEMENT:

On May 6, 2008, The Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), the Hon. Mr Jon Stanhope MLA, and the ACT Health Minister, the Hon. Ms Katy Gallagher MLA, publicly announced the ACT Government's multimillion dollar investment in the development of a state-of-the-art neurosurgical operating suite at The Canberra Hospital. This level of government funding, together with the support of our Community's benefactors, should see this vision through to completion in the near future. It is anticipated that this suite, with intraoperative MRI, cutting-edge neuronavigation, image projection and telemedicine capabilities, will be one of the most advanced operating rooms in Australasia, thereby representing an essential technological platform from which we can continue to deliver worldclass neurosurgical care.

Some of the following media coverage, organised by year, pertains to surgery carried out by Dr Khurana's team at The Canberra Hospital (TCH). Other interviews with Dr Khurana are included for general interest.
