Sehadete Mekuli (16 October 1928 - 12 November 2013) was a Yugoslavian-born Albanian gynecologist, professor, and public figure. Wife of poet Esad Mekuli, she became well known for tending to the injured students of the 1981 protests in Kosovo, where Albanians demanded more autonomy within the Yugoslav federation, which inspired the character of ''Teuta Shkreli'' in Ismail Kadare's novel ''The Wedding Procession Turned to Ice'' ((アルバニア語:Krushqit jane te ngrire)). ==Biography== Mekuli was born Sehadete Doko in 16 October 1928 in Ochrid, Kingdom of Yugoslavia (now in the Republic of Macedonia).

On April 1, 1954 she started to work in the Hospital of Pristina as a gynechologist and obstetritian. Mekuli specialized in gynechology in March 1960 in Belgrade. From 1960 until 1962 she was the Chief of the Gynechology and Obstetrics Pavilion of the Pristina Hospital. In 1963, for political reasons, she left the hospital and became Chief of the Dispensary (a public dispensary), within the House of Health of Pristina. In January 1968, she went back as Chief of the Gynechology and Obstetrics Pavilion in the Pristina Hospital. After the opening of the University of Pristina Mekuli was elected primarius of the School of Medicine which opened in 1970.
