Stephen Ttendo

Stephen Ttendo serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesia within the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University. His scholarly work is primarily focused on surgical care and anesthesia services in resource-limited settings, particularly at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda. Dr. Ttendo has established himself as a key researcher in global surgery, with particular expertise in surgical outcomes measurement, anesthesia education, and healthcare systems strengthening in low-resource environments.

Dr. Ttendo's research interests center on improving surgical and anesthesia care in resource-constrained settings. His work addresses critical gaps in surgical safety, healthcare quality measurement, and capacity building for surgical services in low-income countries. He has conducted extensive research on surgical outcomes databases, maternal and child health, infectious disease in surgical settings, and anesthesia education models suitable for resource-limited environments. His research program demonstrates a strong commitment to developing practical, context-appropriate solutions for improving surgical care delivery in challenging settings.

Analysis of Dr. Ttendo's publication record reveals a consistent focus on surgical care in low-resource settings, with particular emphasis on Uganda. His research spans multiple domains including anesthesia safety, surgical outcomes measurement, infectious disease in surgical contexts, maternal health, and pediatric surgery. A notable trend is his work on developing and validating surgical outcomes databases in resource-limited settings, which addresses a critical gap in global surgery research. His more recent publications show increasing focus on pandemic response (particularly related to Covid-19), pediatric surgical care, and the economic implications of surgical services.

Dr. Ttendo has collaborated extensively with researchers from McMaster University and international partners. His co-author network includes researchers from various disciplines focused on global health and surgical care. While specific grant information isn't detailed in the provided materials, his research program appears to be supported through partnerships with organizations focused on global surgery and health systems strengthening in low-income countries.
