Anneka Hooft, MD

I am a pediatric emergency medicine physician and researcher in global health and implementation science. My research focuses on clinical decision-making in the care of sick children, especially those with undifferentiated febrile illnesses, using epidemiological and implementation science methods. I also study related behavioral influences on both healthcare providers and caregivers of children in resource-limited settings, as well as the integration of informal medical providers (e.g., traditional healers) into the biomedical sphere. My goal is to improve access to high-quality pediatric emergency care for those who need it most, and to optimize the diagnosis and management of febrile illness through evidence-based clinical guidelines and decision-support technology.
