Dr. Sadhna Kooverjee

Sadhna Kooverjee is a South African clinician-researcher whose work focuses on infectious diseases, HIV medicine, and respiratory health. Affiliated with major public-sector health institutions in South Africa, her research addresses pressing health challenges in high-burden settings, with particular attention to vulnerable populations and comorbid conditions.

Her publications examine the intersection of HIV, tuberculosis, and COVID-19, highlighting the impact of chronic infections on mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. She has also explored antiretroviral therapy outcomes in patients with severe mental illness, contributing important insights into retention in care and treatment response in complex clinical populations.

More recent work extends to respiratory medicine, including the role of vitamin D in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease within African contexts. Based on a limited body of currently available publications, her scholarship demonstrates strength in cohort analyses, real-world clinical data, and research that informs public health policy and frontline care.
