Who are we?

Kitakurang is brought to you by the people who are bringing the world’s first procedure-less medical device to Malaysia – Team Kitakurang.
We are a group that cares about every overweight person’s journey to lose weight the MEDICAL, HEALTHY, SUSTAINABLE way. How do we do it?
Our team of Consultants can tell you everything about the Swallowable Intragastric Balloon or Belon Telan (as our patients lovingly call it). Our Clinical Team then takes over on procedure day to assist the doctor and also take care of your clinical needs.
Lastly, the Wellness team is with you from Day 1 of your procedure for up to 12 months – guiding and supporting your weight loss journey and beyond.

Meet your Clinical Support Team

Mukand
Being a member of team Kitakurang, I assist and accompany patients on the procedure day at the hospital. This is where they also receive their Allurion weighing scale and health tracker watch which is set up, and synced via Bluetooth to the Allurion app on patient’s phone. It is important for all these to be set up accordingly in order for patients to have a smooth beginning to their weight loss journey. In addition to that, I also provide clinical updates and procedure guides to the specialists who conduct the Allurion balloon placements.
Furthermore, I ensure that hospital staff is well versed in regards to providing the best service for patients who sign up for the Allurion x Kitakurang programme which leads to a smooth journey on placement day.
I concurrently attend to enquires from prospect customers (doctors & patients) and make certain to provide the best solutions from Team Kitakurang.

Dr. Amy
Responsible for Patient Care Services, I work closely with patients throughout their weight-loss journey. I ensure patients are comfortable and provide advice based on patients’ medical history, symptoms, concerns and worries! I can relate to patients a lot, as someone who has also struggled with weight issues. I have even experienced and succeeded in the full Allurion X Kitakurang program myself – and this really helps me to identify with what patients experience too.
