Adventist Women-of-the-Year

   
   

The Association of Adventist Women just finished their 2006 conference on “Globalization and the Adventist Woman.”
Dr. Phetsile Kholekile Dlamini-Nkomo is one of six awardees as Woman-of-the-Year!
“Her illustrious career includes serving two terms as Minister for Health and Social Welfare of Swaziland
(1996 to 2003). She is currently an ambassador to the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), an entity mandated
by the Organization of African Unity and now by the African Union (AU). . . . 
At NEPAD she is responsible for coordinating health programs that cross many African
countries. An international figure in her areas of expertise, she is the author of numerous reports and policy statements. . . .
Dr. Dlamini’s interests include the quality of health care and health care delivery, as well as
capacity building. She facilitated health reforms in Swaziland, which include free statesubsidized clinics and health
centers throughout the country to relieve very poor families of the burden of paying for medical care and to improve
access to health care. This initiative also helps the elderly, who are often left with orphaned grandchildren.”
