The forum held to enhance anti-corruption practices in health care delivery and highlight the need to protect the right of patients in the health sector.

The forum accorded participants the opportunity to also share their views and grievances regarding medical and legal issues.

Mr Mac Matthew Chancellor, the Tamale Metropolitan Director of the NCCE, said there is the need for health workers to be careful on how they handle patients due to the discerning nature of the people they encounter.

He urged participants to value human lives and avoid partisan politics in order to collectively find solutions to problems faced by the health sector.

Mr Chancellor said the threat of litigation is real and called on duty bearers to be security conscious to protect the integrity of the individual integrity.

He said about 3 billion dollars was lost annually due to corrupt practices whereas such an amount is enough to build more healthcare centres in the country.

"Everyone is guilty of corruption but its minimization is possible so, be a whistle blower, let's stop Ghana's culture of negligence" he said.

Mr Iddrisu Tanko, the Deputy Director of Administration at the TTH, commended the NCCE for the initiative and recommended that more of such forums be organized for workers in the health sector.
