Rathi Guhadasan

As 2025 national Socialist Health Association (SHA) chair and previous vice chair, I have been heavily involved in health-, NHS- and public health-related policy work, including integrated approaches with sectors such as education and housing. I have attended Labour annual conference in 2022 as CLP delegate and 2023 and 2025 as SHA delegate. I have written motions for my CLP and SHA, participated in compositing at conference, and have collaboratively and inclusively developed SHA NPF submissions.

I am a qualified paediatrician with a background in international public health and the international development and humanitarian sectors, including global health policy. I have a keen interest in many areas of policy, particularly health, and would like to see a more integrated, intersectoral approach to public health policy. We must also see the New Deal for Working people delivered in full as well as a proper Green New Deal. If elected, I will endeavour to represent the grassroots of our Labour movement and be accountable and transparent to members.

I’m proud to be supported by Momentum and the Centre-Left Grassroots Alliance (CLGA). Please also nominate and vote for Jumbo Chan, Dave Levy and Pat Quigley.
