Zimbabwe Healthcare Fraud Workshop

The Association of Health Funders of Zimbabwe (AHFoZ), in collaboration with the Association of Financial Forensic Analysts (AAFFA) will be running a two day instructor-led unique workshop, the first of its kind in Zimbabwe,  where expert speakers will assist in  imparting skills in detection and mitigating the Risk of Healthcare Fraud, Abuse and Misuse in Zimbabwe’s health care system.
