Dr Jahangir Alom

He is also a campaigner, working during the COVID-19 pandemic to raise awareness on health inequality, particularly with the British Bangladesh community. He has been awarded a BEM for services to tackling health inequalities.
Dr Alom said: “I am very grateful to be a recipient of this honour, having worked with many incredibly inspirational people throughout the pandemic.
“We must not forget that during COVID-19 there were huge ethnic disparities that led to the death of many within marginalised communities, including colleagues. I hope that we continue to work to reduce health inequalities at UCLH and in the UK.”
