Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has inspected Ebola preparedness measures at the Accra International Airport as part of efforts to strengthen Ghana’s response against any possible outbreak of the disease.
The visit focused on assessing screening procedures, emergency response systems, and the readiness of health officials at the country’s main international gateway to detect and contain any suspected Ebola cases.
Speaking during the inspection, the Minister urged event organisers and the general public to strictly observe safety protocols, including the provision of handwashing facilities and hand sanitisers at public gatherings.
He stressed the need for vigilance, early detection, and strict adherence to public health measures to protect both citizens and travellers.
Mr Akandoh explained that the inspection forms part of government’s broader strategy to enhance disease surveillance and reinforce preventive measures at all entry points into the country amid concerns over Ebola outbreaks in parts of Africa.
He, however, assured Ghanaians to remain calm, stating that no Ebola case has been recorded in the country.
