Founded in July 1984, the Committee for Health in Southern Africa (CHISA) was a non-profit organization of people in North America who volunteered their time on issues of health in Southern Africa, particularly on health issues raised by apartheid. Health and health issues are broadly defined, in keeping with the definition of the World Health Organization that health is a state of complete physical, psychological and social well-being. Prime concerns of CHISA were health and related human rights in South Africa and the role of health professionals and professional organizations in that country. CHISA maintained a liaison in South Africa with the National Medical and Dental Association (NAMDA), a multi-racial organization with broader functions but a similar set of prime concerns. CHISA maintained liaison with local chapters across the continent.
