Market Sustainability Forum
September 29 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
What if you could hear directly from the people behind the processes that affect your orders, claims and payments?
On 29 September 2026, SAMED is bringing together key public-sector stakeholders for a Market Sustainability Forum designed to give suppliers practical insight into what is changing and, more importantly, what you need to know.
Programme:
10h00 – 10h45 KZN Health SOP & LOGIS Update
Speaker : Vusi Memela Chief Director
KZN Health will provide an important update on the SOP and the changes being introduced to accommodate LOGIS. For suppliers, this is an opportunity to get clarity on:
- What is changing?
- How will LOGIS affect the current process?
- What will suppliers need to do differently?
- What can suppliers expect going forward?
- What are the next steps and timelines?
Rather than trying to navigate changes after they happen, come and hear directly from KZN Health about what lies ahead.
11h00 – 12h00 Steve Biko Academic Hospital What are they doing differently?
Presented by a Steve Biko Academic Hospital Representative
We are also delighted to welcome Steve Biko Academic Hospital, whose team will share the processes and practices that have helped support more timely submission, processing and payment of supplier claims.
This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from a public-sector institution about what works in practice.
The discussion will explore:
- How suppliers can improve the submission of claims.
- Processes that can help prevent unnecessary delays.
- What suppliers should be doing to support efficient processing.
- Practical lessons from Steve Biko’s experience.
Why you should be in the room
This isn’t just another industry update. It is an opportunity to get ahead of changes, learn from real experience and have direct conversations with the institutions that suppliers interact with every day.
If your business supplies the public healthcare sector, the discussions around SOPs, LOGIS, claims and payment processes could have a direct bearing on your operations.
Who should attend:
- CEO’s, Managing Directors
- Finance Directors, Chief Financial Officers (CFOs)
- Government Affairs, Market Access, and Public Policy professionals
- Supply Chain and Operations leaders
