Ghana Joins The Race, Records First Case of Ebola!

After several negative scares and a near invincible
general outlook concerning Ebola which has become
a regional threat to West Africa, it seems Ghana just
may have recorded her first case of Ebola!
It is reported that on Friday afternoon, a Burkinabe
man, who had general symptoms of Ebola including
fever, nose and ear bleeding, was taken to the
Bawku Presbyterian Hospital dead on arrival. The
man was brought through the border from Burkina
to Ghana by his relatives who wanted proper medical
care for him but he died on the way. My question?
Why wasn’t he screened at the border? Is Ghana this
careless?
Dr Joseph Yaw Manu, confirmed to
StarrFMonline.com that the man had died at the
time he was brought in, saying: “… What scared
me most as a Medical Doctor is that he was
bleeding from his ears and nose–symptoms of
Ebola.”
Do you know what I am thinking? If it is indeed
Ebola, there will be a few more cases reported in the
vicinity soon because several others were exposed
without protective clothing to the body of the man.
Especially since it wasn’t expected. The medical
personnel and the people who carried him to the
hospital and anyone else who touched him or came
in contact with his body somehow.
Very disturbing news for a country whose health
minister instead of preparing for the health threat
was saying on Friday that Ghana will never see Ebola
but only hear of it in other countries.
What measures do we have in place Dr. Kwaku
Agyemang (Minister of Health)? You need to school
us more on what your outfit is doing to protect
Ghanaians! Because I haven’t seen a single move.
Dr. Manu of the Bawku Presby hospital has since
sent blood samples of the deceased for testing at the
Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research
(NMIMR) at the University of Ghana. If Ebola has
killed at least 961 people in the West African sub-
region out of 1,779 total cases. Sierra Leone, Liberia
and Guinea are among the hardest hit countries.
Although many suspected cases have been reported
in Ghana, most were reported negative upon testing.
And there are many rumours of the disease along
coastal towns in Ghana where fishermen cross
between countries without customs checks and
screening.

Ebola ebola..... 9jatc people live safe

na waa oo... african borders are so porous, the government also is very loose, talking more than acting. God please save us

Fela sang it some years back that he is sorry for Africa.. Can we see now that, Africa is just another continent that is not suppose to exist at all.
