‘Corporate’ and ‘Clinical’ Governance. Elements of ‘Corporate governance’ include responsibility & accountability, effectiveness & efficiency, and of course, moral integrity and the rule of law.

Whilst ‘Clinical Governance’ comprises the pillars of clinical audit, effectiveness & information, risk management and the appropriate staffing/staffing management remain prerequisites.

But all of these cannot be achieved without strong and enduring partnerships between all the stakeholders and players – healthcare managers, Doctors, healthcare workers AND our patients.

These are the partnerships that will help us serve our patients and community better – and continue to improve the health of our nation.
