  1. PRESENTATION TO THEPARLIAMENTARY PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE ON DEFENCE ON INTEGRATION AND TRANSFORMATION IN THE SAMHS

  2. AIM The aim of this presentation is to brief the members present on Integration and transformation in the SAMHS in terms of the White Paper on Transformation of the Public Service

  3. SCOPE The Health Context Restructuring the SAMHS Representivity and Affirmative Action Integration in the SAMHS Human Resource Development The SAMHS Reserve Promotion of a professional Ethos Conclusion

  4. SA Military Health Service Internationally it is a standard principle that members of a defence force who risk physical, psychological and social exposure, injuries, disablement or death in service of their country, can depend on a dedicated health service that is guaranteed, comprehensive, available anywhere at all times, and thus supportive.This international norm places a normal obligation on a country to guarantee provision in its defence force for a military health service that renders continuous operational health support. Thus the SANDF needs a health capability that is trained in and interlinked with the doctrine of combatant forces. Infrastructure Static and Mobile (RSA Health Reserve Capacity) Unique Capabilities and Experience The Health Context National Health(Public Health Care) National Legislation,Policy and Regulations National Infrastructure Level 1,2,3 and 4 Hospitals NH Clinics Provides health care to National Population Private Health Care Private practices Private Hospitals Health Care Groups Medical Schemes General and Specialised Hospitals Private Clinics Provides health care to private funded patients

  5. Part of National Health System SAMHS Represented on: Health Professions Council Health MinMec PHRC close co-operation in: combating of disease outbreaks immunisation campaigns support to summits support during disasters support during labour unrest

  6. Restructuring the SAMHS Transformation Context Strategic Objectives Structural Concept Involvement and Buy in System and Responsibility Descriptions Operationalisation of Scenarios The Structures enabling Military Health Care Service

  7. TRANSFORMATION CONTEXT As a result of political and societal changes the DOD had to undergo similar fundamental transformation. Transformation covers all aspects required to normalised the DOD’ to society’s new requirements. A key aspect enabling the DOD to achieve transformation is re-engineering. The specific aim of the re-engineering effort is to improve DOD process efficiency in order to sustainable and effectively deliver required outputs within available budget and other policy constraints.

  8. STRUCTURAL CONCEPT The MoD is an integrated organisation comprising all the elements that together form the departmental head office and highest military headquarters. Task Forces are force employment structures under task force commanders (TFC’s) as intermediate level commanders. A Type Formation is a structure composed such that it can execute an approved business plan to ensure the development of, and preparation of a specific “Type” grouping of combat ready user systems. As such a type formation includes, as far as is practicable, all units and support elements relating to a specific user system type. (The adopted principle includes a dedicated school and depot to each TF). Support Formations are intermediate level force support structures under (support) formation commanders, but similar to type and all other system structures. Units are combat units (such as artillery regiments, squadrons, ship or medical battalion groups) or support units (such as depots and schools)

  9. The SAMHS - Fully participated in the re-engineering of the process and Contributed to the Design Workshop Report to couple structures to processes

  10. SG and STAFF Main Responsibilities The Surgeon General and staff ensure the provision of combat ready medical forces and operationally ready infrastructure, as well as the provision of health maintenance services for the DOD. It does this through developing a sound business plan and monitoring the performance of type formations. It furthermore develops and updates health policy for the DOD and participates in developing the overall DOD policy. Participate in formulation of national health policy as DOD representative on various statutory and national bodies. It ensures adherence to material and professional statutory health regulations on behalf of the DOD The Surgeon General is also the government’s specialist advisor wrt international conventions

  11. SG and STAFF System Description The SG and staff system makes available the medical service’s business plan to the policy and planning and finance divisions. The business plan is approved and an appropriate budget allocation is made. Guides all subordinate elements in developing and preparing Military Health Service, combat ready user systems and combat ready higher order user systems. As budgeting authority SG and staff distribute the allocated budget to the medical spending agencies on a basis of business plans provided by them. SG and staff then monitor the output of its spending agencies according to approved business plans and report to the accounting officer and the Chief of Policy and Planning on a regular basis on the performance of spending agencies according to plan. They also report to statutory bodies on adherence to statutory regulations.

  12. SG and STAFF System Description Surgeon General also has the responsibility to report to Cabinet on the health status of the President.

  13. TERTIARY HEALTH TYPE FORMATION Responsibilities Responsible for the development and maintenance of specialised medical and related services and professional staff. These services are provided to the DOD as a whole, as tertiary medical consultation services. During wartime Tertiary Health Type Formation Institutions could be turned into operational support centres (4th line). This formation provides hospitalisation services and offers all medical and related specialities in consultation. Deploy specialist services and advisory teams in combat through the specialist units. It carries a further responsibility of collateral application of facilities and services to approved beneficiaries in support of National or DOD strategy

  14. AREA MILITARY HEALTH SERVICES TYPE FORMATION Responsibilities The co-ordination of the delivery of health services in specific regions of the country. It ensures the availability of quality medical support to area defence formations, common support bases and all other formations in peacetime mode. This formation is only responsible for the professional aspects of health services provision. It thus ensures service provision through centralisation / decentralisation decisions, manages linkages between service delivery points and between those points and tertiary health formations.

  15. AREA MILITARY HEALTH SERVICES TYPE FORMATION Responsibilities It will furthermore manage the availability of professional personnel and specific medical / health facilities in support of the common support base. On request of J Ops Provide elements to support forces deployed in borderline protection and assistance to SAPS Provide operationally ready infrastructure user systems

  16. MOBILE MEDICAL TYPE FORMATION Responsibilities The mobile type formation prepares and provides combat applicable medical forces for use in defence operations. It draws up business plans and determines readiness levels according to the force design and Government objectives. It reports to SG on readiness levels of medical forces It groups together statutory disciplines in medical battalion groups It evaluates operational doctrine and advises on required adaptations. It plans and provides for operational exercises It develops user systems by integrating personnel with mobile medical facilities It ensures, develops and sustains chemical warfare countermeasures

  17. OPERATIONALISATION OF SCENARIOS The DOD should contribute to internal security, peace, stability and development. This should happen inter-actively with other state departments. Health support to internal peace and stability operations Active participation during natural disasters (Floods) Active participation during disease outbreaks (Cholera) Support to National Hospitals during upgrading (Theatres to Chris Hani Baragwanath)
