Rupa Bai Furdoonji

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

Early life and career
In 1885, Furdoonji began her studies and was one of five women to enroll in medical courses at Hyderabad Medical College. In 1909, with the encouragement from Annie Besant, 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. == References ==
