Board committees

Governance framework

Netcare’s governance framework enables the Board to delegate specific duties to governance committees that provide an in-depth focus on specific areas, thereby assisting the Board to discharge its responsibilities. The six Board governance committees comprise directors, executives and senior management and are supported by 10 operating committees.

The Board delegates duties to governance committees that provide an in-depth focus on specific areas, assisting the Board to discharge its responsibilities.
