Tonderai Mabuto

Dr. Mabuto will spend his fellowship year at the Aurum Institute in South Africa under the mentorship of Salome Charalambous, MBChB, PhD and Luke Davis, MD. His research will focus on evaluating the organizational culture of primary health clinics to support quality improvement efforts in South Africa's HIV programs.

Dr. Mabuto is a Senior Scientist at the Aurum Institute. Following the completion of his doctorate studies, he decided to focus his career on implementation science research and program evaluations, as these are key areas that are relevant to transforming how HIV programs improve the outcomes of people living with HIV in underserved areas and among populations at risk of being left out of country responses. His overall goal is to conduct contextually-relevant and pragmatic research that improves the adoption, implementation, and sustainability of interventions into routine primary healthcare programs.
