The only awards recognising and honouring healthcare professionals in the province, the Health Excellence Awards, are back.
These come a right time when healthcare practitioners are emerging from a life-threatening period of Covid-19.
These brave warriors had to risk their lives just to serve and save the lives of other citizens.
“These awards are meant to celebrate and honour these brave men and women who went the extra mile just to save the lives of others,” said the awards spokesperson and director, Sylvia Maseko.
“This is where healthcare professionals are acknowledged for their good work. The Health Excellence Organisation empowers healthcare practitioners through symposiums that give them an opportunity to interact with well-informed speakers who give them the latest updates on different diseases’ management. We organise CPD-accredited health symposiums that focuses on the latest updates in disease management yearly. In our organisation, we believe that appreciated employees are likely to be more productive, and this is what the Health Excellence Awards aim to achieve.”

The public gets to nominate their best healthcare professional in fields such as oral hygienist, dental assistant, dental therapist, dietitians, nutritionists, paramedics, environmental health practitioners, medical practitioners, clinical associates and medical specialists.
“There is another category in which we will honour healthcare professionals who have done something extraordinary in the health sector. This includes the best hospital and the worst hospital in the province. We have partnered with the Clinical Care Platform to host these prestigious event that brings both private and public HCPs under one roof,” said Maseko.
