VISION
To contribute to the improvement of life of Southern African nations by improving scientific knowledge and skills through the utilization of interactive living science and technology discovery centres (S&T centres).
SAASTEC is recognised by the South African Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) as representing interactive science centres in the country.
The Society of Medical Laboratory Technology of South Africa (SMLTSA) was founded in 1951 after the amalgamation of the Natal, Southern Transvaal and Cape Societies.
Its purpose is to promote and regulate the profession of Medical Technology in South Africa.
Advancement of Technologists of All Engineering Disciplines
IPET strives to improve the image and status of engineering technologists of all disciplines and is hard at work to ensure that they get the recognition they so richly deserve.
IPET has succeeded in getting the National Building Regulations altered so as to authorise professional technologists to sign building plans as competent persons.
It has provided exclusivity in its membership by allowing only Professional Engineering Technologists as full corporate members of the Institute.
It has for years been trying to get full recognition for the engineering technologist in the Government Service and it is continuing the battle.
It is instrumental in the provision of Liability Insurance for its members in private practice.
IPET assists applicants who have been unsuccessful in obtaining registration as Professional Engineering Technologists in obtaining this sought-after status.
