The new board was elected at its Annual General Meeting (AGM) earlier this month, in Johannesburg.
"The Association is being called on to play an important role as government leads healthcare reform in the years ahead,” says HASA CEO, Dr Dumisani Bomela.
“This resizing of the HASA board, therefore, is a proactive measure to strengthen the board with additional and necessary skills and to add to its capacity.
“The step makes HASA well-situated to contribute to the ongoing building of a strong and accessible healthcare system for all South Africans," he adds.
