AGM
Western Australia has a growing community of e-health and health informatics proponents, leaders and experts. Our branch of HISA continues to attract a diverse and influential audience across the spectrum of health. HISA WA members will be invited to participate in the HISA WA AGM. We hope all HISA members in Western Australia will be able to take part following the presentations.
