St George's Consultant wins accolade at British Muslim Awards
Congratulations to Professor Asma Khalil - a Consultant in Obstetrics and Maternal Fetal Medicine at Tooting’s St George’s Hospital - who won an accolade at the British Muslim Awards. 🏆️
Professor Khalil received the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Noor Inayat Khan Muslim Woman of the Year category for her outstanding work in maternal and fetal medicine.
The category is named after Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan GC, a Special Operations Executive agent who became the first female wireless operator sent from Britain into occupied France during the Second World War. She was later captured and executed at Dachau in 1944 before being posthumously awarded the George Cross for her extraordinary bravery and service.
Professor Khalil said: “I am absolutely honoured to receive this award. To receiving recognition associated with Noor Inayat Khan was deeply meaningful, particularly as it recognised my work in maternal and fetal medicine and in my opinion really speaks to the wider contributions of our fantastic team at St George’s.”
The awards, sponsored by GDK and powered by Oceanic Awards, celebrate excellence and positive impact across British Muslim communities, recognising contributions in healthcare, education, charity, business, media, and public service.
