As the healthcare industry struggles to keep pace with a rapidly changing regulatory environment, spiralling costs and cut-backs in government funding along with the increasing demands from a growing population, rampant growth of Aids and other degenerative diseases, one questions: how long can our current facilities and policies survive?

 

There are no clear-cut, easy solutions. Our speakers at SAFHE 2003 will discuss and unpack some of the problems we are experiencing and provide some insight to the way forward as to how we can continue to provide affordable and sustainable healthcare services in Southern Africa today.

 

The SAFHE biennial conference and exhibition has become widely recognized in Southern Africa as the focal point for debate on issues impacting on health care service delivery. It attracts a cross section of influential people involved in all facets of health care, with a common desire to improve health care services, reduce cost and provide facilities where most needed.

 

This conference is a must for those involved in all aspects of healthcare including; planning, design, construction operating and maintenance of facilities and equipment.

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Local Government councillors and politicians responsible for healthcare

Health service and facilities: planners, administrators and managers

Medical equipment specialists

Architects

Engineers

Quantity surveyors

Maintenance personnel
