Nominations open for the South African Health Excellence Awards
South Africa has always inspired the world with its medical advances, the most famous of which is the world’s first heart transplant in December 1967. In another world first, a medical team from the Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre announced early in October 2018 that it had, successfully transplanted a liver from an HIV positive mother to an HIV negative baby. The Health Excellence Awards are inspired by the intellectual prowess, tenacity and endurance of South Africa’s human capital in the medical space - people who do excellent work for the people of the country, and the world over.
To this end, the awards celebrate excellence in various categories including,
- Scientific excellence,
- Global excellence,
- Clinical excellence,
- Leadership excellence,
- Emerging leader,
- Rising star.
- Emerging clinician scientist,
The nomination process, requires a submission of a 200 word abstract about the nominee. A CV will thereafter be requested from all individuals who are shortlisted.
President of the South African Clinicians Society, Professor Salome Maswime says: “We launched the South African Health Excellence Awards in 2018, because we felt that there is a need to acknowledge the talent and accomplishments of doctors and other clinicians in South Africa. We find that so many people are doing such amazing work in improving healthcare and also doing ground-breaking research. However, there aren’t enough platforms to celebrate the excellence that we see. This is one platform that will unite healthcare practitioners and bring them to one place where we can celebrate all the great things that have been done in the South African healthcare landscape.”
