Anna de Jonge

Anna de Jonge is the Liaison Officer of Patients Rights Adovocacy Waikato Incorporated. She completed her Post Graduate Operating Theatre Academic Training in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and worked for twenty-seven years in the Medical Profession as an operating theatre charge sister in ten operating theatres, twenty-three of those years at Health Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand.

Anna also studied Women and Ethics in Science and Medicine in 1986 and Women in the Law in 1988 at Waikato University, Hamilton, New Zealand. In her opinion within the medical system a "closed shop policy" exists. There seems to be an inadequate accountability by doctors.

From thirty years in the medical profession, Anna de Jonge draws on her experiences for her advocacy work and is a foundation member of Patients Rights Advocacy Waikato Incorporated.
