Accra - The Ghanaian presidency has
announced that the United Nations will
use Ghana as a base for supplies
bound for countries stricken by the
Ebola outbreak that has killed more
than 1 550 people in West Africa.
More than 3 000 people have been
infected since the virus was detected
in the remote jungles of southeastern
Guinea early this year and it has
quickly spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone
and Nigeria and Senegal reported its
first case on Friday.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon had a telephone
conversation with Ghana's President
John Dramani Mahama, who agreed to
let international agencies use Ghana's
capital as a base for air lifting supplies
and personnel to affected countries.
Mahama chairs the West African
regional grouping, Ecowas, which has
set up a solidarity fund to fight the
deadly disease.
"Using Accra as the logistics and co-
ordination centre will open a vital
corridor to get urgently needed
supplies and health personnel into the
affected countries and areas," a
statement said.
Regular international commercial
flights to the affected countries have
been suspended, making it difficult for
supplies to reach them.
The statement said the UN and local
authorities would work closely to put in
place appropriate screening and
prevention measures to avoid any
adverse effects on Ghana as a result of
the international operations.
The UN will also help review and
strengthen Ghana's Ebola
preparedness as steps are taken to
prevent the virus from spreading to
that country, according to the
statement.
