After several negative scares and a near invincible general outlook concerning Ebola which has become a regional threat to West Africa, it seems Ghana just may have recorded her first case of Ebola!

It is reported that on Friday afternoon, a Burkinabe man, who had general symptoms of Ebola including fever, nose and ear bleeding, was taken to the Bawku Presbyterian Hospital dead on arrival. The man was brought through the border from Burkina to Ghana by his relatives who wanted proper medical care for him but he died on the way. My question? Why wasn’t he screened at the border? Is Ghana this careless?

Dr Joseph Yaw Manu, confirmed to StarrFMonline.com that the man had died at the time he was brought in, saying: “…What scared me most as a Medical Doctor is that he was bleeding from his ears and nose–symptoms of Ebola.”

Do you know what I am thinking? If it is indeed Ebola, there will be a few more cases reported in the vicinity soon because several others were exposed without protective clothing to the body of the man. Especially since it wasn’t expected. The medical personnel and the people who carried him to the hospital and anyone else who touched him or came in contact with his body somehow.

Very disturbing news for a country whose health minister instead of preparing for the health threat was saying on Friday that Ghana will never see Ebola but only hear of it in other countries.

What measures do we have in place Dr. Kwaku Agyemang (Minister of Health)? You need to school us more on what your outfit is doing to protect Ghanaians! Because I haven’t seen a single move.

Dr. Manu of the Bawku Presby hospital has since sent blood samples of the deceased for testing at the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) at the University of Ghana. If Ebola has killed at least 961 people in the West African sub-region out of 1,779 total cases. Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea are among the hardest hit countries.

Although many suspected cases have been reported in Ghana, most were reported negative upon testing. And there are many rumours of the disease along coastal towns in Ghana where fishermen cross between countries without customs checks and screening.

Another West African Country bows to Ebola!

This disease is spreading faster than imagined. No wonder Doctors beyound borders said Ebola is out of control.

Ebola, what exactly are you after?

Is it the complete extermination of the fraudsters, 419ERS, drug barons and all what nots from west Africa.? OR WHAT .........


Just know you thou that not all of us are among those listed up here. Pleaseeeeee.

Don't quote me ooooo.

like seriously?

West African Countries need to come together to tackle this disease. International travel among African countries need to be reduced, at least to the bearest minimum till Ebola is bought under control. Hope is not lost.

Thought their health minister was boasting a while ago?

What's so shocking bout this Damn! I bet Libaria is RESPONSIBLE for this.

Now this is serious...
But will they still ban nigerians from coming to their country??

This one is worse than AIDS, I think it took a lot of time to create the disease....
The money they are making with HIV Drugs not enough.

Somebody should tell them they should Stop using Africa for their clinical trials.

Na God go judge them.
Africans invest in Medicines and a lot of research.....may we not be affected with our loves one.

acenazt: What's so shocking bout this Damn! I bet Liberia is RESPONSIBLE for this.

Nobody is responsible, they are dropping the virus in each country's...it will soon get all over Poor Experimental Africa.

So after all your initial gragra, ebola still do through pass from Burkina. Anyway, I thank God its not from Nigeria cos we no go hear word.

acenazt: What's so shocking bout this Damn! I bet Libaria is RESPONSIBLE for this.

No they are not! It is claimed ebola first case was in 1976 right? why dint it spread like this since all these years? The poeple (west) that engineerd this weapon has redesined it to be more contagious n deadly. I still believe this virus was created by someone.

this ebola has made in Sierra Leone by america written all over it
they have a lab where the do research on biological weaponry and send samples to american, the virologist that created the zmapp warned against accidental exposure two months ago before the first case.

fellow nigerians, we need to open our mind there's more to this story than meets the eyes. even if it is a fact that animals are vectors of the virus,
it not bush meet, its not bats we have been eaten those for decades. liberians were eating oneanother during their civil war for christ sake


read further, im not asking you to believe this, keep an open mid and keep asking questions.

Ebola uniting nations in fear and death. Something urgent must be done in Africa and by Africans with or without help from other continents, if not, a large portion of Africa will become history very soon. God forbid but it's the truth just like Ebola too does truly exist.

Too bad! i thought their borders were fully secured?

Oh! not again
