Our Board
Corporate governance embodies processes and systems by which an organisation is directed, controlled, and held to account. As a Section 3A public entity, corporate governance at the SAMRC is guided by its enabling legislation, the SAMRC Act 58 of 1991, the precepts of the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999, as amended and the principles contained within the King Report on Corporate Governance. The SAMRC is accountable to Parliament for its performance and management of its budget.
The SAMRC Act provides for the appointment of a Board by its executive authority, the National Minister of Health. The Board as the accounting authority, in turn, is responsible for the corporate governance of the SAMRC. This includes fiduciary responsibilities and ensuring compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements. Furthermore, the SAMRC Board appoints the SAMRC President, who carries the responsibility for implementing the Board’s mandate.
