Ishani Premaratne is a pre-medical student and anthropology concentrator in her senior year at Harvard. She is passionate about global healthcare delivery in resource-constrained settings, women's empowerment, and social entrepreneurship. It is a combination of these interests that led her to co-found GrowLanka, a social enterprise that serves war widows in northern Sri Lanka. She is also the co-Founder and President of Harvard College Women in Medicine, a Resolution Fellow with The Resolution Project and a 2014 Global Health Equity Option Scholar with the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School in a program spearheaded by Dr. Paul Farmer. During the summer after her sophomore year, Ishani was fortunate to be awarded a Joey Hanzich Memorial Fellowship, which supported her internship position with The Maternal Health Task Force (MHTF), a flagship project of the Women and Health Initiative at the Harvard School of Public Health. During that summer, her main projects included conducting research on maternal health care availability and working directly with MHTF's Young Champions of Maternal Health to develop socially mindful and innovative projects in the field. Ishani is grateful to have received such broad exposure to research, outreach and advocacy initiatives on issues concerning a segment of global health that she is particularly passionate about. Most recently, Ishani spent the spring semester of her Junior year working with Compañeros en Salud, a sister organization of Partners in Health, in Chiapas, Mexico followed by a summer working as an intern at the World Health Organization's Headquarters in Geneva.
