Minister for Health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu has revealed Ghana has been named as one of two countries globally getting the COVID-19 fight right.<\/p>\n Per a World Health Organisation (WHO) assessment, Ghana and South Korea are the only two countries doing right in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n According to him, this achievement is an indication of the high-level innovation of the Presidency and the Ministry. <\/p>\n With this recognition, the country constantly receives invitations from other states to share their knowledge and tactics in fighting the pandemic. <\/p>\n To him, \u201cwe\u2019ve fought the battle and we\u2019ve not won it yet but we can say we\u2019re out of the woods.\u201d <\/p>\n He noted that presently Ghana has 5 severe cases with 2 persons in critical situations nationwide. <\/p>\n \u201cOur active case count is 527, we have lost 1,426 lives. Although this is not what we expected, but compared to the thousands of deaths elsewhere, I will say we have been successful,\u201d he submitted at the Minister\u2019s Press Briefing organized by the Information Ministry.<\/p>\n Ghana was pressured with hospital beds and Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Minister disclosed \u201cas at last week we had only one person on a ventilator nationwide. Positivity rate is low and I believe the media and everyone needs to give credit to the President and the Ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n He applauded the President for his direct involvement in the acquisition of COVID-19 vaccines and active involvement in all meetings related to the fight against the pandemic. <\/p>\n Kwaku Agyeman-Manu also applauded health workers for their involvement in testing, contact tracing, mass education and vaccination drives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Health Minister, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu Minister for Health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu has revealed Ghana has been named as one of two countries globally getting the COVID-19 fight right.
