Ghana Health Service Endorses Call To Resume Flights To Ebola Infested Countries And Advocates Vigilance At Borders

The Ghana Health Service, GHS, has endorsed calls for resumption of flights to Ebola infected countries. 

The service says closure of borders and other travel restrictions amount to stigmatisation and are against WHO rules on health. 

The GHS instead suggests that all borders be tightened and education intensified on the Ebola Viral Disease to prevent further spread to other parts of the continent. 

The Head of Disease Surveillance Unit of the GHS, Dr Badu Sarkodie, told Radio Ghana that public education on the Ebola scare is making some positive impact.
