Dr. Chido Nyatsambo

Chido Nyatsambo is a surgical researcher and clinician whose work centers on improving outcomes in global surgery, particularly within low- and middle-income settings. Contributing to the landmark ChEETAh trial published in leading international journals, Nyatsambo has helped advance evidence-based strategies to reduce surgical site infections through pragmatic, cluster-randomised research.

Research interests span surgical infections, trauma, and complex intra-abdominal pathology. Publications include economic evaluations of perioperative interventions and methodological analyses addressing bias in surgical trials, reflecting strengths in clinical epidemiology, trial design, and health systems research.

In addition, case reports on rare infectious and trauma-related conditions demonstrate broad clinical expertise and a commitment to knowledge sharing in resource-constrained contexts. Collectively, this body of work highlights a focus on practical, scalable interventions and rigorous research methods to strengthen surgical care delivery.
