Meet ANZ's best Medical Affairs professionals

Thirteen medical affairs professionals, and in some cases their teams, have been recognised for their outstanding contribution to the industry, with six individuals named winners at the annual Medical Affairs Professionals of Australasia (MAPA) Excellence Awards.

Presented last night at the 2026 MAPA Medical Excellence Awards and Summit Dinner held at Dockside, Darling Harbour in Sydney, the awards celebrate achievement across leadership, field medical, emerging talent, innovation, individual excellence and team performance.

Christina Xinos of Ipsen was named Medical Affairs Leader of the Year, with the runner-up finalist recognised as Anchit Khanna from Ferring.
