Secretariat Members
The Health Council Secretariat includes those individuals responsible for carrying out the mandated functions of the organisation. We have a team of 19 and despite our size, our remit is quite large. The Secretariat prides itself on being an efficient and reliable team that has the public’s best interest in mind for all that we do. As we constantly seek ways to improve our operations and the execution of our functions, in 2016 we underwent organisational restructuring which resulted in the development of our three directorates: Health Economics, Health Regulations and Operations.
Operations Directorate
Coordinates collaborations between the Health Council and local community organisations and manages day to day operations of the office. Creates and develops communications content for the Health Council. Leads the oversight and management of Human Resources and Operations, and supports the management of finances and financial audits.
