About me

Dr. Malini Nijagal is an obstetrician and gynecologist who cares for pregnant patients at UCSF Health and Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. She sees patients in both clinic and hospital settings.

Nijagal's research focuses on devising sustainable, high-quality maternity care systems for pregnant people experiencing inequities.
