About Branko
Branko was one of the founding members of the Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA), the Asia Pacific Association of Medical Informatics (APAMI) and the Australian College of Health Informatics (ACHI). He was also a member of the Board of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA), Vice-President of Membership, senior editor of the Medinfo ’98 Proceedings (Korea). He also served IMIA through a variety of other responsibilities. His great leadership and vision were instrumental in laying the foundation for health informatics developments “Down Under” that occasioned MEDINFO 2007 in Australia. The Branko Cesnik awards recognises his work and give “life” to the further developments in health informatics in Australia.
