Please join us in congratulating Dr. Diana Mokoena on her appointment to the Anova Health Institute Board of Directors.

Diana served as an Invitee to the Board’s Social and Ethics Committee for more than a year and now formally joins the Board, bringing over a decade of experience at Anova and a deep commitment to strengthening public health in South Africa.

Since joining Anova in 2014 as a Clinical Advisor, Diana has held several senior roles, including Programme Manager for Johannesburg and, since 2021, Senior Head of Division: Programme Implementation. In 2024, she was appointed Chief of Party for our USAID PEPFAR APACE (Accelerating Programme Achievements to Control the Epidemic) award, where she led a team of more than 3,000 staff, overseeing innovative HIV and TB programmes in partnership with the Department of Health.

Her appointment reflects Anova’s commitment to drawing on strong internal leadership, technical excellence, and lived institutional experience to guide the organisation’s future.

We are proud to welcome Diana to the Board and look forward to her continued contributions.
