Madiha Raees, MD, joined the Division of Critical Care Medicine at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia as an attending physician and clinical instructor in summer 2021 after completing her pediatric residency at Johns Hopkins, her PICU fellowship at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, and a pediatric intensive care-global health fellowship at the University of Maryland and Mercy James Institute for Paediatric Surgery and Intensive Care in Blantyre, Malawi. Outside of her clinical work in pediatric intensive care unit, she has a deep interest in optimizing healthcare provision for children in variably resourced regions. She is currently studying proposed biomarkers of brain injury in the cerebral malaria population as potential surrogates for advanced imaging and predictors of neurological outcome. Her work is based in Blantyre, Malawi and she works closely with the Blantyre Malaria Project.
