Dr. Andrews replaces Mr. Laurie Pincott, who served as interim CEO of RANZCO from September 2012.
“Dr. Andrews brings extensive experience to his new role, having previously served as Chief Operating Officer of the Woolcock Institute,” said President Dr. Stephen Best.
Dr. Andrews said he was excited to be part of RANZCO and looked forward to “working on some of the challenges facing ophthalmologists today; namely a growing older population with increasing eye problems, a largely under serviced population in rural and remote areas and a stagnant or shrinking health budget”.
