Biography

Dr. Chiamaka Aneji completed her medical education at the College of Medicine, University of Nigeria Nsukka. Growing up on 2 different continents opened her eyes to the differences in health care she saw as a child in England and subsequently as a medical student in Nigeria. This piqued her interest in Global Health and set the stage for her medical career path.

As a neonatologist, Neonatal Resuscitation Program instructor, and master trainer in the Helping Babies Survive program, she has trained trainers and providers in the United States and several resource-limited countries in newborn resuscitation and care. She provides clinical mentorship, volunteer telehealth support, and ongoing volunteer education support to health care workers in several hospitals in Nigeria.

Her goal is to combine her interests in Global Health, Quality Improvement, and Medical Education to improve the health of newborns and children both at home and abroad. She currently serves as the Associate Medical Director of the Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital Houston neonatal intensive care unit.
