The Ministry of Health has assured the public that Ghana has not recorded any suspected or confirmed case of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), despite recent outbreaks reported in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

In a press release, the ministry said updates from the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Africa CDC indicate that confirmed and suspected Ebola cases have recently been detected in the two African countries.

The ministry noted that precautionary measures have already been activated nationwide in collaboration with international health partners to strengthen Ghana’s preparedness and response systems.

According to the statement, surveillance and screening at airports, seaports and land borders have been intensified, while travellers arriving from affected countries are being closely monitored.
