Aspro Andrew Grieve

Andrew Grieve is a South African paediatric surgeon affiliated with Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital and the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. His work centres on the burden, outcomes and systems of paediatric surgical care in low- and middle-income settings, with a strong commitment to improving access, safety and training within public health services.

His publications examine neonatal surgical conditions, appendicitis, intussusception and burns, highlighting determinants of morbidity and mortality and the impact of delayed presentation. He has analysed theatre utilisation, referral pathways and inter-hospital transfer systems, identifying structural barriers to timely care and proposing decentralisation and service redesign to address unmet surgical need.

Grieve has also contributed to global surgery discourse through work on international fellowship training and capacity building, as well as exploratory research on artificial intelligence for paediatric ultrasound in renal disease. Collectively, his scholarship demonstrates expertise in clinical outcomes research, health systems strengthening and context-responsive innovation in paediatric surgery.
