Mr. Anteneh Yalew

Anteneh Yalew is a public health researcher whose work centers on epidemiology, maternal and child health, and infectious diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa. Affiliated with academic and clinical institutions in Ethiopia and South Africa, his research integrates advanced statistical modeling, machine learning, and geospatial analysis to address pressing health challenges. His scholarship reflects strong engagement with Demographic and Health Survey data and hospital-based cohorts.

A major focus of his research is maternal and adolescent health in Ethiopia, including zero-dose childhood vaccination, teenage pregnancy, and preterm birth prediction. Through multilevel modeling and spatial analysis, he identifies community and individual determinants shaping reproductive and child health outcomes. This work informs targeted public health interventions and supports evidence-based strategies aligned with sustainable development priorities.

Yalew has also made notable contributions to COVID-19 and HIV research, particularly in high-burden African settings. His studies on ICU outcomes, laboratory biomarkers, acid–base disorders, vitamin D status, and HIV co-infection highlight clinically relevant predictors of mortality. By combining clinical epidemiology with robust analytical methods, his research strengthens understanding of risk stratification and health system responses in resource-limited contexts.
