Sabat M. Islambouli (1867[citation needed] – 1941) was one of the first Kurdish female physicians from Syria.[1] She was born to a Kurdish-Jewish family.[2][3] She has had variations of the spelling of her name and is also known as Sabat Islambooly, Tabat Islambouly, Tabat Istanbuli, Thabat Islambooly and more.[2]
Medical training
Islambouli studied at the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania in the USA. [4] She graduated with her medical degree in 1890.[5][4]
Later life
Islambouli is believed to have gone back to Damascus after she graduated, and then to Cairo in 1919 according to the college's alumnae list.[6] After that, the college lost touch with her. Little is known of what happened to her once she left the United States.[7] She died in 1941.[2]
