The Association of Healthcare Funders of Zimbabwe (AHFoZ) will host its Annual “All Stakeholders Conference on Health”, from 4-7 September 2024, at the Elephant Hills Resort in Victoria Falls. This prestigious event will bring together medical aid societies, healthcare professionals, policymakers, suppliers, medical aid member representatives, and all stakeholders from across the country and beyond, to discuss and explore strategies for improving healthcare outcomes.
Under the theme “Zooming in on our Healthcare Outcomes: Making the main thing the main thing,” the conference aims to highlight the importance of focusing on key priorities and strategies that will lead to enhanced healthcare outcomes for all Zimbabweans. By bringing together experts and a cross-section of all stakeholders, the conference will foster knowledge exchange, collaboration, and innovation in the healthcare sector.
