[閒聊]孟加拉:騎大象搶劫

Today’s Doodle celebrates the 108th birthday of Indian-born physician, professor, and social reformer Dr. Zohra Begum Kazi, a 20th-century pioneer for women in medicine on the Indian subcontinent. At a time when the medical field was reserved primarily for men, Dr. Kazi broke barriers with an unwavering dedication to patient care and fierce advocacy for female education.

Zohra Begum Kazi was born into an aristocratic medical family on this day in 1912 in Rajnandgaon, British India. Her father was a physician who encouraged his daughters to break from cultural norms by pursuing careers in medicine. A brilliant student, Kazi graduated in 1935 with a bachelor’s degree in medicine and surgery from Delhi’s Lady Hardinge Medical College for Women.

Over the following 13 years, Dr. Kazi developed her expertise as an assistant surgeon in various hospitals across British India. In the wake of India’s partition in 1947, she relocated to Dhaka, present-day Bangladesh, where she joined the Medical College and Hospital as a resident surgeon. Following post-graduate studies, she rose to the top of her field, becoming a professor and head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Kazi worked to redefine women’s attitudes towards medicine, providing door-to-door care to countless women who were previously intimidated by the male-dominated world of medical care.

Throughout her life, Dr. Kazi committed herself to charitable and educational causes and through her pioneering example helped inspire future generations of women to become doctors, just like her.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Zohra Begum Kazi!

今天的Doodle慶祝印度出生的醫師，教授和社會改革家Zohra Begum Kazi博士誕辰108週年，他是20世紀印度次大陸從事醫學女性工作的先驅。在醫學領域主要面向男性的時候，卡齊博士堅定不移地致力於患者護理，並大力倡導女性教育。

Zohra Begum Kazi於1912年的這一天出生於英屬印度拉傑南德崗的一個貴族醫療家庭。她的父親是一位醫師，他鼓勵女兒們從事醫學事業，以打破文化規範。卡齊（Kazi）是一位出色的學生，於1935年畢業於德里的哈丁格夫人女子醫學院，獲得醫學和外科學士學位。

在隨後的13年中，卡齊（Kazi）醫生在英屬印度各地的多家醫院中發展了自己的專業經驗，擔任助理外科醫生。在1947年印度分治之後，她搬遷到了今天的孟加拉國達卡，在那裡她作為駐外科醫生加入了醫學院和醫院。在完成研究生學習後，她上升到了自己的領域的頂峰，成為了婦產科系的教授和系主任。卡齊博士致力於重新定義女性對醫學的態度，為無數女性提供了門到門的護理，這些女性以前被男性主導的醫療服務所嚇倒。

卡齊（Kazi）博士一生致力於慈善和教育事業，並通過她的開創性榜樣，激發了子孫後代像她一樣成為醫生。

Zohra Begum Kazi博士生日快樂！
