Dr. Kenalemodisa Mogotsi

Kenalemodisa Mogotsi is an academic clinician in the field of anaesthesiology with a research focus on perioperative care and surgical outcomes in African settings. Contributing to multinational collaborative research, Mogotsi has been involved in advancing evidence on the safety of anaesthesia and surgery for children, particularly within resource-constrained health systems.

A key contribution includes authorship in a major prospective cohort study published in The Lancet examining postoperative outcomes among paediatric patients across Africa. This work highlights critical gaps in perioperative safety, infection control, and health system capacity, emphasizing the need for strengthened surgical and anaesthesia services to improve child health outcomes.

Additional scholarly work in regional anaesthesia literature addresses lung recruitment strategies, reflecting clinical expertise in respiratory management during anaesthesia. Based on the currently available publications, Mogotsi’s research centers on perioperative safety, paediatric anaesthesia, and context-specific approaches to improving surgical care across African healthcare environments.
