DESCRIPTION:You're invited to attend the inaugural lecture of Professor Laetitia Rispel.While South Africa’s public health care system has come a long way since the end of apartheid, three major issues are worrying Professor Laetitia Rispel.
<br />“We have come to tolerate ineptitude and leadership, management and governance failures; we do not have a fully functional district health system (DHS), which is the main vehicle for the delivery of primary health care; and we have not dealt decisively with the health workforce crisis,” said Rispel, the Head of the School of Public Health at Wits, at her inaugural lecture.
<br />Her analysis comes from a 21-year journey in the public health sector, where she worked as a health worker at the Groote Schuur and Red Cross Children’s Hospitals in the Western Cape.
<br />“I know what it feels like to be at the bottom of the health hierarchy, in a racially segregated and unequal health care system,” she said.
<br />She also was at Wits Centre for Health Policy as an emerging researcher and experiencing the euphoria of contributing to health policy and systems changes in a post-apartheid period. Rispel was the Head of the Gauteng Health Department where she was involved in developing and implementing transformative health policies.
