Cape Town 2019 - #ISQua2019 20th - 23rd October 2019
Together with The Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa (COHSASA) and Mediclinic International, ISQua was delighted to host its 36th International Conference in Cape Town.
Cape Town is an incredible city and showed itself at its best for #ISQua2019! Our excellent lineup of speakers ticked the boxes for our delegates and the cultural performances, including singers, musicians and dancers were amazing.
One of the key takeaways from this year's conference was the question, 'What do people actually need to be healthy?', posed by plenary speaker, Rocco Perla.
Ask 'What do you need to be healthy' and build the system about that. Methods are values in action.
Thank you to everyone who took part in our 2019 conference, our partners, sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers and delegates. We hope you will join us in 2020 for our 37th International Conference in Florence, Italy.
