About Anzil Sampson

As Head of Environmental Health at the City of Cape Town, I lead strategic initiatives that safeguard community health, strengthen resilience, and advance climate change adaptation. With extensive experience in municipal health leadership, I oversee strategic planning, policy development, and implementation of programmes that address urban health challenges and improve outcomes for vulnerable communities. I play a key role in the City’s Urban Health Programme and drive the Environmental Health Climate Change Adaptation Strategy, collaborating with diverse stakeholders to build a healthier, more resilient Cape Town. With expertise in governance, budgeting, and compliance with frameworks such as the National Health Act, IDP, and City Health Business Plan, I ensure services align with local, provincial, and national priorities. Passionate about sustainable, client-centred solutions, I am committed to delivering transformative outcomes that enhance public health and community well-being across the City.
