It is yet to be confirmed whether the deadly Ebola Viral Disease has found its way into Ghana but reports reaching Peace FM indicates that two persons, currently admitted at the Kasoa Poly Clinic, have shown signs of it.
The
two, according Peace FM’s Central Regional correspondent, Seth Mantey
are from Liberia and have been residing at the Kosoa Buduburam refugee
camp with their families.
He was informed by Dr. Mills, the head
of the Kasoa Polyclinic that following the signs he has seen the
patients display, he wouldn’t be surprised if turned out to be the Ebola
viral disease.
According to Seth Mantey, aside the pain he saw the patients displayed, blood was also oozing from their eyes and ears.
“When
they coughed, you could also see blood in it. Doctor Mills revealed to
us that he has called on authorities to come and take samples of blood
to give a proper account”.
Seth Mantey disclosed that the Kasoa
Polyclinic which is situated at the Awutu Senya District has also
recorded seventy one (71) cases of cholera cases. One person is reported
to have died as a result.
However, with the challenges
associated with the fight against the deadly Ebola Viral Disease,
Peacefmonline.com would like to urge all especially government to put in
safeguard measures to prevent its spread as Ghana serves as the home
for most asylum seekers within Africa.
