At the most recent SNOMED International Open General Assembly meeting, part of the October 2024 Business Meetings & Expo in Korea, CEO Don Sweete thanked outgoing Management Board Chair Joanne Burns, for her service. Joanne, who was first a Management Board Director, recently completed her term as Chair. Don also thanked outgoing Directors Matis Meglic, who served as Chair of the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee and who brought to the organization his considerable expertise in public health, health informatics and semantic interoperability, both in Europe and globally; and Mengchun Gong, MD. Mengchun, a participating member of the board’s Technical Innovation Committee, also gave the SNOMED CT Expo 2023 James Read Memorial Lecture on using SNOMED CT to power public health management and knowledge discovery in COVID-19. 

SNOMED International's Award for Excellence is awarded to a single recipient each year for outstanding contributions to the improvement of #SNOMEDCT and/or its successful implementation in any aspect of health and social care. This year, at #SCTExpo24 in Seoul, the organization recognized Dr Hyeoun-Ae Park, who has pioneered efforts to promote and implement #SNOMEDCT in South Korea. Dr Park, who played an instrumental role in enabling Korea to host this year’s event, also has a long history of collaborating with key stakeholders and organizations globally and furthering research in the application of SNOMED CT to support semantic #interoperability and clinical research in Korean medical institutions.

SNOMED International’s Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes individuals for sustained, outstanding contributions in the development or promotion of #SNOMEDCT and for global leadership in the terminology field. At #SCTExpo24 in Seoul, the organization recognized as this year’s award winner Dr. Md. Khadzir Sheikh Ahmad, former Deputy Director, Health Informatics Centre, Ministry of Health, Malaysia, for his role in strategically coordinating and executing the implementation of semantic standards in the Malaysian healthcare system. Dr Khadzir also established the foundation for Health Informatics Center as the National Release Centre for #SNOMEDCT as well as for other standards. After Malaysia became a SNOMED International Member in 2012, he promoted the use of SNOMED CT in other Member countries and generously shared with new SNOMED International Members Malaysia’s journey and lessons learned. Dr. Khadzir’s visionary outlook in promoting the use of SNOMED CT not only fosters collaboration and #interoperability, but has opened a new chapter in healthcare data analytics both in Malaysia and internationally.
