Your help and support made a world of difference!

🙏 Thanks also to the Queensland Mental Health Commission for entrusting QMHW to us for the past 8 years. Your encouragement and help have been greatly appreciated.

🙏 Finally, thank you to the thousands of Queenslanders who hosted or participated in a community QMHW event over the past 8 years. Your passion has been inspiring and uplifting.

📣👏🏽 Congratulations Dr Sangla on being awarded the Member of the Order of Australia (AM) Award in the General Division for significant service to endocrinology and to the rural and Indigenous communities of Queensland! 📣👏🏽

Dr Sangla is a CheckUP Outreach Health Service provider in Queensland and we extend our sincere congratulations for your ongoing commitment. This honour is a well-deserved recognition of your commitment to providing health services to First Nations peoples and communities in Queensland over many years. Receiving the prestigious AM Award reflects your dedication and vision.

CheckUP celebrates with you and expresses our gratitude for your service to Queensland communities.

...................................................

Read Hospital and Health Service's post, originally published 26 January 2026 on Facebook:

Congratulations to our very own Professor Kunwarjit Sangla who was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia today.

Professor Sangla has dedicated more than two decades to continuously improving the care of people living with diabetes, gestational diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and diabetes in pregnancy in north, north-west, and central Queensland.
Health service chief executive Kieran Keyes said Professor Sangla wore many hats - doctor, researcher, teacher, patient advocate - and his passion to improve the health of First Nations peoples and people living in rural and remote areas was unparalleled.

“I suspect there isn’t another known clinician who can match Professor Sangla’s footprint in the delivery of face-to-face care to people in regional Queensland,” he said.

Professor Sangla said he was delighted yet humbled by the honour.

“This honour is both deeply personal and a tribute to the incredible communities I’ve had the privilege to serve,” he said.

“I want to acknowledge my colleagues and thank my patients who make every day worthwhile.

“And I’d like to say a huge thank you to my wife, Tina, who has been beside me every step of the way.”

Congratulations Professor Sangla!
