Dr. Rasha Khoury is a Palestinian American physician and public health activist born and raised in East Jerusalem. She moved to the US for medical education and completed her residency training in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California, San Francisco. She then pursued subspecialty training in complex family planning and global women's health at Brigham and Women's Hospital, where she also received her master's of public health. In 2014 she moved back to East Jerusalem and joined MSF, fulfilling a lifelong dream. She has since completed six surgical assignments with MSF in Sierra Leone, Lebanon, Ivory Coast, Iraq, and for more than a year in Afghanistan. Dr. Khoury currently works clinically as a subspecialist in maternal fetal medicine and complex family planning at Boston Medical Center, a safety net hospital caring for patients from disinvested communities, including many forcibly displaced from Haiti and South and Central America. She joined the MSF USA board in 2019 to exercise participatory leadership and uplift and amplify the voices of patients and global staff in the MSF movement. Dr. Khoury was elected board president in May 2024 and will serve a one-year term.
