It also supports the nation’s vision of building a world-class healthcare system.
His Excellency added that the next phase requires strengthening integration between supervisory and executive roles. It also requires adopting flexible governance frameworks that keep pace with the rapid transformations in the healthcare sector. This will help enhance institutional performance and maximise impact. It will also instill a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. Together, these efforts will ensure the continued delivery of sustainable, human-centered healthcare services that meet the community’s aspirations.
The Board approved the formation of the Development and Improvement Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee. These will play a pivotal role in supporting the institutional governance framework, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence, and establishing an integrated performance management system. This system supports EHS’s strategic objectives and enhances its readiness to keep pace with future changes.
Concluding the meeting, the Board affirmed its commitment to continuing efforts to enhance institutional performance, grounded in the principles of governance, excellence, and sustainability.
