Friends of Victoria is overseen by the Facility Board
The Victoria Hospital Board consists of both community leaders with a longstanding relationship with Victoria Hospital and successful businessmen from the surrounding areas. Their combined years of experience with the hospital and years of experience giving vision to large corporates offers the hospital strong strategic and organisational support. 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 (left to right standing): Saliem Franciscus (secretary); Fuad Abrahams; Dr Harald Weber; Rehana Parker; Yvonne Nelukalo; Dr Clint Cupido; and (seated left to right) Llewellyn Jones (Chairman); Peter Lekay (deputy chairman) and Patrick Jeftha (acting CEO)
"Above all, Victoria Hospital is a family.
Some doctors have dedicated decades of their lives
to Victoria, which speaks volumes."
