SASMFOS puts patients first. We assist in private and public practice, we also assist the public sector and those who are economically challenged to access first-class specialist medical services.
Our pro bono services include providing advice and council on treatments, procedures, access to funding and information. We also support various not-for-profit causes.
Our goal is to facilitate meaningful private-public initiatives. Our efforts include regular round tables to engage directly with senior public officials and other important decisionmakers. We also assist in mentoring stakeholders on important issues which impact upon our profession and on the provision of medical services at large.
