Year 1866 records of Sikh Medical Scientists
Overview:

These are the Singhs & Kaurs as Verified Medical Researchers with a snapshot of some prominent published names from the year 1866 until 1977!!

Description:

79 Names of Singhs & Kaurs as Verified Medical Sikh Researchers !!

This is NOT a complete list of all the Sikhs that might have had a research degree or published a research, but this adds to the knowledge which is lacking from over 99% of our Sikh community until now !!

This research was focused on the Medical Archives and hence features a lot of 'Medical Surgeons' that were approved and verified by the British Empire. Many of these Sikh Medical researchers cum practitioners were affiliated with foregin countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, London, Scotland, Burma and so on. 

 

STRICT NOTE:

The work was commissioned by the Sikh Scientists Network, and co-researched together to build a brief data base of evidences and published records that matched the names "Singh" and "Kaur" throughout some well-maintained and online medical archives. 

If you require to use this information, then appropriate due credits to the researchers and authors of Sikh Scientists Network should be given. Contact us for details of Co-Authors this work, that you should publish and acknowledge in your work !!

Also, if anyone is interested to create a similar database using Engineering journal Archives, please feel free to collaborate with us, or approach for commissioned work prospects smiley
