The Ministry of Health has stepped up efforts to enhance leadership, accountability, and training quality across Health Training Institutions (HTIs) through a targeted corporate governance and capacity-building workshop.
Held under the theme “Strengthening Leadership and Institutional Excellence in Public Health Training Institutions,” the initiative forms part of ongoing reforms aimed at building a skilled, well-distributed, and future-ready health workforce.
Addressing the participants, Deputy Minister for Health, Prof. Dr Grace Ayensu-Danquah, emphasised the pivotal role of HTIs in shaping Ghana’s healthcare future.
She stressed the need to move beyond numbers and focus on developing professionals with specialised skills to manage increasingly complex health conditions.
She also called for the integration of technology, innovation, and global partnerships to modernize health education and meet evolving healthcare demands.
On financial stewardship, she urged strict compliance with the Public Financial Management Act, emphasizing transparency and accountability in the management of public resources.
Director of Human Resource, Fred Acheampong, reinforced the importance of strong corporate governance in building a resilient health system.
He noted that effective leadership requires not only administration but also accountability, regulatory compliance, and strategic oversight, underpinned by strong communication and data-driven reporting systems.
The Ministry remains committed to strengthening institutional leadership and advancing reforms that will enhance training standards and improve healthcare delivery nationwide.
