Clinician scientist | Entrepreneur | Women’s rights & education advocate
Hello, I am Dr Hannah Nazri. I am an NIHR–funded Academic Clinical Fellow and specialty trainee doctor in obstetrics & gynaecology at the University of Warwick, following the completion of my DPhil in endometriosis research at the University of Oxford.
As the Director and Founder of the Malaysian Doctors for Women & Children, I am passionate about ending practices that discriminate against women and children in Southeast Asian communities. Formerly, I was the Equality Lead for Europer for the Royal Commonwealth Society. For my work in youth and education with The Kalsom Movement, a Malaysian student-led education charity, I was awarded the Associate Fellowship of the Royal Commonwealth Society as a Finalist of the 2015 Queen’s Young Leaders Award by The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Trust. In 2020, I was the finalist of the Women of the Future Award UK for the Commonwealth Category. This year, I am the 2023 finalist of the WeAreTheCity Award for Healthcare.
I am committed to combining my medical career with non-profit work not limited to youth education and women’s rights advocacy.
Let’s talk if this is of any interest to you.

After several months to a year of experiencing depression, I’m pleased to be at the side of it. It calls for a real celebration 😃🥳 Looking forward to connecting with friends again and sorry for being awkward for months. That wasn’t me.
