South Asian Medical Women

Welcome to Beyond the Knife -where history and medicine collide. In this episode Dr Theeba Krishnamoorthy uncovers the remarkable stories of early South Asian women in medicine and their connections to Edinburgh. Inspired by a search for women from a similar background within the history of her own profession, she discovered a largely overlooked legacy of pioneering doctors whose lives crossed continents, cultures and barriers. This podcast brings their stories back into the history of medicine and asks why they have remained hidden for so long. This episode is hosted by Chanté St Clair Inglis Director of Heritage and Estates at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Produced by Jordanna Kielty-O'Neill and Keshena Goldie for Surgeons Hall Museum, Library and Archives.
