| Summary |
At the end of 1999,Professor Marian Jacobs, then Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, completed her full tenure as a Board member, along with Mr Trevor Fowler, then, Vice Chairperson. On the one hand, this represents a loss to the organisation of hardworking colleagues on the Board, but on the other, it is a demonstration of growth by the Health Systems Trust in a changing environment. I have accepted the challenge of being chairperson, aware of the enormous responsibilities that lie ahead. I am however convinced that with my colleagues and the staff of the HST pulling together, we will maintain (and enhance) the status of the HST as a force positively contributing to health sector development in South Africa. |

The review of activities that we are presenting in this report is compiled against the backdrop of the policies and plans articulated by government through the Ministry and Department of Health. Our dynamic interaction with the Department is based on mature critique and honest analysis and reflection of what each of us consider as suitable to advance the cause of finding policies and strategies that advance good health. Our contribution in this relationship is therefore informed by our expertise, knowledge and experience in this area.
As subsequent reports by the Executive Director and other key staff members will demonstrate, we have not shifted from our strategic focus, although we continue to adjust our interventions to meet new challenges as they emerge. Our focus remains health systems development, but we are aware that it is all about providing South Africans with quality care, particularly those in poor and neglected areas. |
