The forum will see the government, business and civil society organisations work together to prevent, detect and prosecute malfeasance in the health sector.



Speaking at the launch, Ramaphosa said fraud and corruption in the health system directly affect the poor and could end up being the difference between life and death.


"As we see corruption happen you should reveal it. People should never accept bribes. When you buy medicine on the streets you are taking part in crime.


"Worse yet you will be depriving someone else access to a service that could mean life or death. Lets remember tomorrow that it could your child."
