Rupa Bai Furdoonji was the world's first female anesthetist.[1] She practiced medicine in Hyderabad, and played a major role in introducing the use of chloroform as an anesthetic in India.

Early life

In 1885, Furdoonji began her studies and was one of five women to enroll in medical courses at Hyderabad Medical College.[1] She obtained a degree of Hakeem, equivalent to that of a Medical Doctor. Subsequently, she pursued a medical degree from Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore.[2][1][3]

In those days, famous medical schools in England and America refused admission to female candidates. Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore was one of the few institutes that were open for women.

Career

Furdoonji was an influential voice at the First and Second Hyderabad Chloroform Commissions held in 1888 and 1891 respectively.

In 1909, Furdoonji went to Edinburgh, Scotland to gain more experience and knowledge in anesthetics. There, she obtained diplomas in Physics and Chemistry from The University of Edinburgh since no specialized course emphasized anesthetics.[1] She chose to study Physics and Chemistry because the knowledge of these subjects was found useful for the doctors who handled anesthetics.[1]

In 1920, she retired as the superintendent of Chaderghat Hospital, Hyderabad.[4]
