Dr. Nana Yaa Fening

Nana Yaa Fening is an academic clinician in anaesthesia whose work centers on perioperative safety, pharmacology, and surgical outcomes in resource-limited settings. As a contributor to a major multinational study published in The Lancet, involvement is noted in advancing evidence on paediatric surgical outcomes across Africa, highlighting systemic gaps in perioperative care and the need for health system strengthening.

Research interests include perioperative risk reduction, aspiration prevention strategies, and safe anaesthetic practice. Publications in the Southern African Journal of Anaesthesia and Analgesia reflect expertise in preoperative assessment, airway protection, and optimisation of patient safety protocols, alongside scholarly work on emerging and novel NSAIDs with attention to pharmacodynamics and adverse effect profiles.

The body of work, though currently limited in volume, demonstrates a focused commitment to improving anaesthetic safety and pain management. Contributions bridge clinical pharmacology and public health, with particular emphasis on translating evidence into practical guidance for clinicians working in diverse and often resource-constrained environments.
