Media statement from the SAMRC Board

The Board of the SAMRC met to discuss the current challenges relating to the media statements made by the SAMRC President, Professor Glenda Gray in her private capacity. The SAMRC Board received communication from the Department of Health regarding the SAMRC President’s comments.

The Board has discussed this matter with Professor Gray and looked into our relevant SAMRC policies. We did not find transgression of these policies by Professor Gray. The Board has decided that it will not be instituting any further investigation on this matter. 

The Board encourages Professor Gray, the Minister of Health and the Ministerial Advisory Committee to resolve the issue of statements made in media amicably in the best interests of all parties and the nation.
