Message from the Chairperson
Dear SAIHCM members,
Welcome to 2012. Firstly, I would like to thank you for your membership and for your continued involvement during 2011. This year we are determined to making this leap year even better than last year.
We invite you to be on the lookout for development opportunities that are always available to our members. In particular we will focus on bringing new young talent onto the SAIHCM Board of Directors.
We are also aiming to extend the general membership of our organization outside of South Africa. Our message to our members is to be innovative and to constantly be looking for new ideas and approaches.
We should all strive to enrich and professionalize health care management in our country; this is a process that begins with the leadership and membership of SAIHCM. SAIHCM is committed to efforts to mould health care managers that can lead.
This is part of our goal to promote high standards of professional health care management suited for both the public and private health sectors in South Africa.
The Workshop on Leadership and Management at the 5th SA AIDS Conference, followed by the annual award ceremony of the Top 10 Influential Health Care Leaders Awards were ways in which we continue to enhance the image of the health care management industry.
We hope to continue our good work with you this year.
Warm 2012 wishes
SAIHCM Chairperson
