CUNY SPH is thrilled to welcome Dr. Sabrina Das, who will be joining the CUNY SPH as a Harkness Fellow for the 2004-2025 school year.
Dr. Das is being supported by the Commonwealth Fund for 12 months with a generous stipend for research expenses. She will be working with the school’s new Sexual and Reproductive Justice Hub (SRJ) studying the abortion landscape, harm reduction, and the health care equity work around abortion care in New York.
She is a consultant obstetrician and gynecologist at Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea Hospital in London and an honorary senior clinical lecturer at Imperial College. She is also a national maternity improvement advisor at NHS England and a member of the board of trustees for Medecins Sans Frontieres UK.
After graduating with honors from Glasgow Medical School in 2004, she worked in Scotland, South Africa and London, completing specialty training in northeast London. She has advanced training in high-risk obstetrics, abortion care, maternal medicine and medical education. As a consultant, she has led local, regional, and national teams in quality improvement, recently completing a senior leaders apprenticeship with Henley Business School. She believes passionately in service to vulnerable communities and the single most disenfranchised group in the world – women and girls – which led her to Medecins Sans Frontieres, with whom she has worked in war-torn Yemen in 2021 during the COVID pandemic.
“We are excited to have Dr. Das join our school and look forward to her contributions,” says Terry McGovern, CUNY SPH senior associate dean for academic and student affairs. “Her vast experience and expertise will inform and strengthen our work to protect the right to bodily autonomy.”
“Dr. Das will be an asset to the school, offering a unique perspective on global sexual and reproductive health care,” says CUNY SPH Dean Ayman El-Mohandes. “We are grateful to have her on board.”
