The Liberia Medical & Dental Council (LMDC) is proud to announce the participation of its esteemed Register General, Dr. Augustus G. Quiah, in the ongoing West Africa Health Organization (WAHO) workshop aimed at aligning and validating the Harmonized Code of Ethics and Practice Regulations for all health disciplines in the ECOWAS region. This significant gathering brings together health professionals from across West Africa to address the need for standardized ethical practices and regulations in healthcare, fostering collaboration and unity among member states.
Dr. Quiah, along with other prominent Liberian representatives, including Prof. Edward Lama Wonkeryor, of NCHE, Dr. John K. Mulbah, President LCPS, Mrs. Cecelia Kpangbala Flomo, Registrar LNMB, and Dr. Dunah Menmon, Registrar, LPB, are actively engaging in discussions that seek to enhance ethical standards and promote best practices in the health sector. Their collective expertise plays a crucial role in developing regulations that uphold integrity and professionalism within the healthcare system.
The workshop is vital to improving healthcare delivery across the ECOWAS region, ensuring that healthcare providers adhere to a unified code of conduct. By standardizing ethical guidelines, the initiative aims to enhance trust and accountability in healthcare practices, ultimately benefiting patients and communities within the Sub-region.
As the LMDC continues to advocate for excellence in healthcare, the participation of its representatives in such important initiatives underscores the commitment to advancing health standards not just in Liberia, but also across the West African region. The insights and recommendations generated from this workshop will pave the way for building a robust healthcare framework that prioritizes ethical practices and high-quality care.
We look forward to updates from Dr. Quiah and the team as they contribute to shaping the future of health regulations in ECOWAS, reinforcing Liberia’s position in regional health governance. Together, we can ensure a healthier and more equitable future for all citizens in the region.
