Adeolu Aromolaran is a Nigerian-born third year Pediatric Critical Care Fellow at Emory University. He is passionate about improving health outcomes for children across the globe and has been working in global health for the past decade. His earliest experiences involved working at the Ministry of Health in Nigeria to prevent vertical transmission of HIV. He later went on to complete a Fogarty-Fulbright Fellowship studying Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS) in Salvador, Brazil. He co-authored a series of papers describing the risk factors for CZS during the 2015 epidemic.
He is a member of Emory’s Global Health Overview by Education and engagement (GLOBE) track and is currently involved in a partnership between Emory University/Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) and Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. This partnership is helping support the Tanzania’s first and only pediatric ICU. He was recently awarded the Emory GO Travel award and completed a 4-week rotation in Muhimbili National Hospital. While there, he led educational sessions while collaborating on research and quality improvement projects.
His research interest is centered on augmenting healthcare infrastructure in Sub-saharan Africa to improve health outcomes for children. This includes training practitioners in both HIC and LMIC on how to build sustainable partnerships in an equitable way. He hopes to spend his career in capacity building and infrastructure development for healthcare systems in low- and middle-income countries. He is grateful to Emory University and CHOA for their support.
