Global Surgery: Stories & Updates
We would like to introduce our 2026-2027 Global Surgery Fellow, Neysa Parag Sanghavi, MD.
Raised in Mumbai, India, Neysa Sanghavi has shaped her work around the intersection of clinical care, health systems, and community-based innovation. She founded the Study Rwanda Project as a teenager and later served as Rwanda’s Brand Ambassador to India, working across advocacy, community engagement, and international partnerships. She went on to study pharmacology and biology at the University of Southern California, where she received the Order of the Laurel and the Palm. Building on that foundation, she returned to India to serve as a Special Advisor to the Goa Ministry of Health, contributing to public health policy and program development. She subsequently earned her MD with research distinction from St. George’s University, where training across the United Kingdom, Grenada, Kenya, and the United States broadened her understanding of how care is delivered across markedly different health systems. Her current work focuses on burn and wound care through surgical education, locally grounded research, and affordable approaches for resource-limited settings, including banana leaf dressings.
