Quality management and patient safety takes centre stage at Africa Health Congress 2024
In partnership with the Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa, once again the Africa Health Congress will present the Quality Management and Patient Safety Conference next month. This is the 12th year that the Congress will host this important conference based on quality management. Africa Health, the leading healthcare event in Africa, will be held from 22 to 24 October 2024 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, South Africa. The annual Africa Health Congress is the continent’s largest gathering of healthcare professionals.
Expect cutting-edge medical equipment from 40 countries, engaging conferences and exciting sessions like the Africa Health Indaba and Innov8 Competition. With over $131,1 million in business generated in 2023, Africa Health 2024 promises to be even more impactful, driving innovation and collaboration across the continent's healthcare landscape.
This will be a forum where healthcare industry pioneers and leading experts will convene to present transformative ideas focused on strengthening healthcare resilience and sustainability in Africa.
Dr Sabelile Tenza, chair of the Quality Management and Patient Safety Conference at Africa Health, says they are very excited for this important event and the discussions they will have. “Just in time, while countries across the globe are working towards achievement of the World Health Organisation’s Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2030, which sets to achieve healthcare with no harm by 2030. In this quality management and patient safety conference we shall unpack topics such as, the international lessons learned from the implementation of the Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2021-2030 thus far and just culture in the current situation of massive litigations,” she adds.
“We shall explore how we can ensure good quality systems are in place in healthcare. These discussions will shed a light on how Africa can move towards the achievement of the Global patient safety action plan.”
Dr Tenza is a renowned Health Policy researcher and Patient Safety specialist from the North-West University, NuMIQ Research entity. “We are excited to be featuring renowned and vibrant global and local speakers in our programme. We shall unpack the mysteries of just culture, patient safety incidents reporting, litigation and second victim syndrome. You will learn how to overcome these obstacles and create a fortress of safety for patients and staff. We shall demystify the Global Patient Safety Action Plan and its implications for African healthcare.”
This conference attracts all the quality professionals, heads of nursing, nursing directors, nurse managers, clinicians, hospital administrators and policy makers across Africa.
Do not miss this opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and be part of building strong networks and wider community of practice in Quality management and patient safety and be updated on new innovations in quality and patient safety.
These are timeous discussions for South Africa as the country is currently battling with increased medical litigations, amidst its efforts towards universal health coverage. Hence, convening to discuss the strengthening of quality management and patient safety is critical explains Dr Tenza.
