Launch of Anadach Governance Academy Program

The role of insightful health sector governing bodies is essential to achieve the health, employment, and financial goals of the organization or community. The members of the governing bodies make decisions that define policies, rules and regulations. They help support both clinical and financial oversight and accountability for the enterprise’s leadership as they expand access to health care and health gain.
These sessions provided practical insights for modern board work across Africa, and other continents and are part of our launch of the Anadach Governance Academy designed to support smarter governance in African healthcare orgnaizations. The webinars also addressed new insights on approaches to minimizing common obstacles to good governance in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). These include understanding of the roles and responsibilities of board members; the difficulty to recruit talented and ethical people for board membership; a lack of support for successful decision-making, as well as inadequate information and orientation for successful engagement.
