YDHS Acknowledges Resignation of Dr Joseph Folorunsho

Yarram and District Health Service (YDHS) is aware of recent community discussion regarding the resignation of General Practitioner Dr Joseph Folorunsho from the Yarram Medical Centre.

Dr Folorunsho recently advised YDHS of his decision to resign from his position as a GP in order to pursue specialist anaesthetic training, an important next step in his medical career.

While YDHS is naturally disappointed to see Dr Folorunsho leave the practice, we fully support his decision and congratulate him on this exciting opportunity. We thank him sincerely for his dedication and service to both YDHS and the wider community over the past several years.

Dr Folorunsho has been a highly valued member of our medical team, providing quality care and support to his patients and making a significant contribution to local healthcare. He will be greatly missed by colleagues, patients and the broader community.

YDHS acknowledges the strong community response to his departure and the many positive comments reflecting the regard in which Dr Folorunsho is held. While there has been speculation on social media regarding the circumstances surrounding his resignation, YDHS confirms that Dr Folorunsho's decision was made to enable him to pursue further professional training and career development.

The health service remains committed to ensuring ongoing access to high-quality medical care for local residents. Recruitment processes are already underway to attract an additional GP to the Yarram Medical Centre, and further updates will be provided as information becomes available.

In the meantime, patients can continue to access appointments with Dr Jhamb, Dr Samani, Dr Rathnayake and Dr Baloch.

YDHS thanks the community for its continued support and wishes Dr Folorunsho every success in the next chapter of his medical career.
