DR GEETHA NAGASUBRAMANIAN
Dr. Geetha Nagasubramanian, consultant community gynaecologist, Orpington

Born in South India and brought up in an average middle class family Geetha attended a state-aided school and was taught in the language of Tamil. English was her second language. Geetha's father was a doctor and her parents and school instilled in her the desire to choose medicine for a career. Geetha successfully graduated from Madurai Medical College and was drawn to specialise in women's health. After her marriage Geetha moved to the UK and continued her training in Obstetrics & Genealogy at the Royal Free Hospital, London. In 1986 she began working as a community gynaecologist in Tower Hamlets. Over the past 20 years Geetha with the support of her excellent multi-national team have improved the existing services and established new services. The team has been very successful with a three-fold increase in their clinical activity.

With her professional expertise and proficiency in Tamil Geetha has spoken voluntarily at Tamil speaking organisations promoting women's health issues and she has also spoken on such issues on the European Tamil Radio Network.

Outside of her work and profession Geetha is also an active member of her son's school parent association, organising cultural events to promote better understanding of people's traditions.
