Committees

Are you passionate about advancing child health and making a tangible impact in paediatrics? The South African Paediatric Association (SAPA) invites you to become an active participant in our mission by joining one of our dedicated committees and lending your skills. 

SAPA thrives on the commitment of volunteers who contribute their time and expertise to various facets of our organization. Whether your interests lie in organizing educational events, supporting administrative functions, or spearheading special projects, there's a place for you to make a difference. Your involvement not only strengthens our community but also ensures that we remain responsive to the evolving needs of paediatric healthcare professionals and the children they serve. 

By joining a committee, you collaborate with like-minded professionals, stay abreast of the latest developments in paediatrics, and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of child health in South Africa. 

Ready to contribute? Reach out to us to express your interest and learn more about how you can get involved. Together, we can continue to champion the rights and well-being of children across the nation.
