Prof. Eka is one of the top three neurosurgeon in Indonesia. He got his first degree as a general practitioner in 1983 and continued to study neurosurgery in Bandung. And since 2010, he has handled thousands of patients, not only from Indonesia, but also from other countries. He also contributed in developing Trans Clival, a neurosurgery technique via nostrils.
