Highlights
Under the leadership of Dr Allers, the Anti-Stigma initiative continued to take shape, and work began with the consumer groups to bring about parity of treatment for patients suffering from mental disorders
In 2003, the representative Private Psychiatrists of South Africa (PPSA) group was already becoming increasingly active, and meetings were being held with bodies such as the Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF), the Life Offices’ Association (LOA) and the like
During that year it had become apparent that patients were severely discriminated against in private practice as far as benefits were concerned, and South African Society of Psychiatrists (SASOP), through the PPSA, had to fight earnestly against discrimination in terms of prescribed minimum benefits (PMBs)
Summary
Under the leadership of Dr Allers, the Anti-Stigma initiative continued to take shape, and work began with the consumer groups to bring about parity of treatment for patients suffering from mental disorders. I became involved with the South African Society of Psychiatrists (SASOP) on the national front in 2002, when I happened to be the chair of the Free State subgroup and was appointed as the convener of the 2004 congress.
