Organization Mission

The South African Menopause Society (SAMS) is one of South Africa's leading nonprofit organizations that is dedicated to promoting women's health during midlife and beyond, through the understanding of menopause. It boasts a membership of over 190 leaders in the field (including clinical and basic science experts from medicine, nursing, sociology, psychology, nutrition, anthropology, epidemiology, and education). This allows SAMS to be the dominant resource on all aspects of menopause to both healthcare providers and the public.
