Strategic Plan 2005 |
Priorities: 1. Inspire others, through relationships:
2. Lobbying and advocacy for rural health. Lobbying with and for rural communities and rural health workers to the Department of Health and broader government. 3. Influencing change. Having an influence by placing RuDASA people in key positions, linking with “friends of RUDASA” in key positions, and/or influencing key people to become rural friendly, in Universities, Department of Health, the Health Professions Council of South Africa and South African Medical Association. 4. Strengthen links to rural communities to ensure working together so that we speak with, rather than on behalf of, rural people. 5. Promote student interest and involvement in rural health and career choices in rural medicine through student electives, RuDASA conferences, holiday programmes, working with rural support network and helping to support related activities. |
