Within the Faculty of Health Sciences, we take great pride in the high calibre of our research initiatives. The objective of this year's Research Day is to ignite curiosity and deepen understanding among attendees regarding innovative approaches aimed at improving health outcomes. We welcome abstracts focusing on breakthroughs in diagnostics, telemedicine, mobile health, cost-effective medical equipment, and electronic health records, all geared toward enhancing innovation in healthcare services. Additionally, we are enthusiastic about exploring avenues such as medication administration and the development of innovative treatments for common ailments, not only within South Africa but on a global scale. Through our discussions on policy development, we aim to elucidate how academia can collaborate with policymakers to inform decisions that enhance the quality and delivery of healthcare, utilizing health technology assessments as a guiding principle. We extend a warm invitation to all colleagues and students to actively engage in this distinguished event by submitting abstracts. Moreover, we encourage our faculty members to volunteer as judges, session chairpersons, or abstract reviewers, thereby enriching the collaborative spirit of our community. Attendance is open to all members of the Wits community, including staff, students, and alumni, with registration being complimentary. As we proudly proclaim, WITS FOREVER! We kindly request that you extend this invitation to interested friends and colleagues, both near and far. Let us come together to celebrate the spirit of inquiry and innovation that defines our institution. We eagerly anticipate your participation in the 2024 Research Day, where knowledge knows no bounds!
