​

Ramakrishna graduated in medicine from Queen Mary University of London with a double distinction. An abiding interest in the law led him to pursue a post-graduate diploma in law at City University, London. He was thereafter called to the English Bar at the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn. 
 
Following his return to Malaysia and after being called to the Malaysian Bar, Ramakrishna was involved in the conduct of numerous clinical negligence claims, many of which involved complex issues of both law and medicine. In the course of his practice, Ramakrishna has been able to draw upon his medical training, which has given him a unique insight in addressing the often-challenging and complex issues arising in clinical negligence practice.  
 
Ramakrishna has also been involved in a number of hearings before the Malaysian Medical Council and the Malaysian Dental Council, on behalf of both patients and healthcare practitioners. 

He has been invited to deliver talks and presentations on topics related to medical law to both members of the medical and legal professions, and is a member of the Medico-Legal Society of Malaysia.

Ramakrishna is the co-author of "Medical Law and Ethics in Malaysia" published by Lexis Nexis. He is also a contributing editor to the "Annotated Statutes of Malaysia - Medical Act 1971" and "Annotated Statutes of Malaysia - Private Healthcare Facilities and Services Act 1998", both published by Lexis Nexis.
