Dr. Nandi Ntuli

Nandi Ntuli is a South African clinician-researcher in neonatology, affiliated with Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital and the University of the Witwatersrand. Her work centers on improving neonatal outcomes in resource-limited settings, with particular attention to hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, neonatal infections, and quality of care in public tertiary hospitals.

Her research examines therapeutic hypothermia for intrapartum asphyxia, highlighting real-world implementation challenges and mortality outcomes in low- and middle-income contexts. She has also investigated neonatal bloodstream infections, including Listeria monocytogenes during a national outbreak, elucidating clinical presentation, complications, and discharge outcomes.

Additional contributions include analysis of nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 transmission in neonatal units, emphasizing infection prevention in kangaroo mother care wards. Based on the currently available publications, her scholarship reflects strengths in clinical epidemiology, outbreak investigation, and pragmatic evaluation of neonatal interventions in high-burden environments.
