The board provides oversight to the projects, fundraising and funds and carefully manages these to ensure maximum impact.
The Facility Board is registered as a Non-profit Organisation with the Department of Social Development and as a Public Benefit organisation with SARS. This means that any donation to Victoria Hospital is tax deductible in the hands of the donor who receives a Section 18a certificate.
Facility board members are: Dehran Swarts (chairperson), Rehana Khan Parker (deputy chairperson), Jonathan Vaughan (CEO), Llewellyn Jones, Peter Lekay, Dr Ben van Stormbroek, Fuad Abrahams, Zintle Peters and Dr Harrold Weber.
"Above all, Victoria Hospital is a family.
Some doctors have dedicated decades of their lives
to Victoria, which speaks volumes."
