Dr. Murimisi Mukansi

Murimisi Mukansi is a South African clinician-researcher affiliated with Helen Joseph Hospital and the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. Clinical and academic work centres on pulmonology, critical care, and infectious diseases within resource-constrained public healthcare settings, with a focus on improving patient outcomes through evidence-based practice.

Research explores community-acquired pneumonia, lung cancer, and ventilator-associated pneumonia, addressing severity assessment tools, antibiotic guideline adherence, and local microbial resistance patterns. Contributions highlight practical decision-making frameworks for hospitalisation and antimicrobial stewardship, particularly relevant to high HIV-burden and diverse urban populations.

In neurosurgical and critical care collaborations, involvement in work on keyhole aneurysm surgery and immunomodulatory therapy for severe COVID-19 reflects interdisciplinary engagement. Across publications, strengths include clinically grounded study design, attention to local epidemiology, and translation of findings into improved ICU and emergency care protocols.
