Summary This Annual Report presents a few highlights of HSTs work in 2002/2003, including the National HIV/AIDS Scientific Forum organised jointly by HST and the National Department of Health in August 2002 the national Public Health 2003 Conference hosted by HST and PHASA in March 2003, and the launch of the 2002 South African Health Review in March 2003.
More Details

HST also provided input to the National Health Bill processes through its submissions and hosting workshops for parliamentarians on the Bill. The research programme has, amongst other projects, finalised and submitted the report on the National Pilot PMTCT sites covering two years of evaluation. The evolving partnerships and projects within southern and sub-Saharan Africa have also generated exciting opportunities for mutual sharing of experiences and expertise.

Much of the real work of HST is, however, to be seen in improvements in specific sites in all the provinces, in lessons learnt and shared through reports and policies to which they have contributed, and applied directly through support given to local, provincial and national health services.
