BHISHO - Eastern Cape Health says it's winning the battle against unscrupulous lawyers.
That's since it established a Specialised Litigation Unit.
The province faced around 600 medico-legal claims in 2019.
That figure has been reduced to around 200 a year.
While some lawyers may be opportunists looking to make a quick buck, patients say they have legitimate claims to make.
