The Ministry of Health has launched the National Calibration Centre under Ghana’s implementation of the Minamata Convention in Accra.
The Minamata Convention is a global treaty aimed at protecting human health and the environment from the harmful effects of mercury.
At the launch of the centre, the Chief Director of the Ministry, Alhaji Hafiz Adam, reiterated that the centre will play a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of non-mercury devices used in healthcare settings.
The calibration services, according to the Chief Director, will uphold the integrity of diagnostic and treatment procedures to improve patient safety and quality of care.
“As we celebrate this achievement, we must remain vigilant and resolute in our commitment to phasing out mercury entirely from the health sector,” he stressed.
