Governance framework
A board with independent representation oversees management through clinical-governance, audit-and-risk, and social-and-ethics committees. The framework covers patient safety and clinical quality, HPCSA and regulatory compliance, medical-aid and billing integrity, data privacy, B-BBEE, and the covenant and reporting obligations attached to the funding. Given the centrality of specialist recruitment, people and clinical leadership are elevated to board-level priorities.
