BIMA Honours Muslim Pioneers in UK Healthcare at Historic Awards
The British Islamic Medical Association (BIMA) has celebrated the achievements of Muslim healthcare professionals at its first-ever awards ceremony. The event recognised doctors, researchers, and community leaders for their contributions to medicine and public health across the UK.
Dr. Sakinat Tope Baiyewu earned the Public Health Award for her role in the Black Health Improvement Programme. Her approach includes using black mannequins when teaching breast self-examination, ensuring the training feels more relevant to her audience. Currently, she balances clinical dentistry with oral health research at Nigeria’s University of Ibadan, specialising in prosthodontics and dental public health.
The BIMA awards showcased the vital role of Muslim healthcare workers in the UK. Winners like Dr. Baiyewu, Dr. Hussain, and the late Dr. Kausar were praised for their clinical expertise and commitment to underserved communities. The event marked a milestone in recognising their lasting impact on British medicine.
