Core Values

Professionalism is a core value that requires thorough knowledge of one’s field of competence as well as skills and ethical conduct. Performance according to stakeholders’ expectations leads to quality services. 

Teamwork requires effective consultation in decision making, sharing information, experiences and challenges with one another in order to effectively implement planned activities. 

Commitment requires appreciation of THPs as a vital resource in the provision of health care to the community and the need for collaboration between THP and BHPs in community health care and research.

Integrity is an underlying value that requires THETA personnel to be responsible and transparent in the performance of their duties. And they should also be truthful, reliable and accountable for their actions.

Time management is a core value that THETA greatly cherishes as one of the most important scarce resources that requires strict management to be able to meet planned project schedules.
