Principal Officer's Foreword
Dear Valued Member,
It’s hard to believe we’re already nearly a quarter into 2025! The year is in full swing, and I’ve been actively engaging in key industry conversations and community initiatives on behalf of Pulamed.
From taking the stage at the BHF Fraud, Waste & Abuse Indaba in Johannesburg to participating in the BPC CEO Cycle Challenge, the year has begun on a purposeful and impactful note. As part of the BPC CEO Cycle Challenge, we were honoured to extend our support to the Mogobane Inclusive Center through the donation of toiletry packs—reinforcing our commitment to community upliftment. Adding a proud moment to the occasion, I secured 1st place in the 30km race category—a fitting highlight to a day dedicated to both wellness and giving back.
