The Quality Trophy is awarded to an individual, a unit, a department or a discipline in a healthcare facility that has made the most impressive or substantial contribution to quality improvement during the COHSASA accreditation process. The recipient is not selected by COHSASA but is chosen by peer review at the healthcare facility.

The flame-shaped trophy, echoing the COHSASA logo to inspire quality, honours the memory of COHSASA colleague, Dr Katrin Kleijnhans, who died on 28 September 2016 after a long illness. It is intended that the trophy carry forward her legacy and encourage others to share her enormous passion for ensuring quality and safety in healthcare.

It is hoped that after its initial presentation, the trophy will become an annual internal floating trophy, given to a deserving recipient at Mediclinic Cape Gate in the future.

Mediclinic Cape Gate General Hospital Manager, Carol Defty, said: “I am very proud of the entire team at Mediclinic Cape Gate as they are passionate about constantly improving on providing safe patient care to all the patients that entrust themselves to our care.”
