Our health officials are as lost as the general public is!
Listening to journalists’ comtributions on BBC and CNN is much more educative!!

I beleive they can never have it under control. It’s possible that they could reduce the rate of infection but having it under the so called control is just not true.
our doctors are doing well but for not detecting that N1H1 or swine flu or what ever is contrasted from human so early, it implies that they are nit professionals enogh they must be made to be attending workshops and forums regulaly. A lab technician once told me She will never go to a Ghanaian doctor for surgury. i hope you understand that ? because she could also be Doctor But there was no practical experiment back at school. well i pray for better training in our schools
thanks.
kodjo pls ask him for me
i was told i had sinusitis some months back
i dont have any of the outlined symptoms either all i have is a chronic cold which goes on and off…
is der any cause for alarm cuz am scared?
kojo i’m not convince a bit if this government says it has the issue under control . when all they’re asking is information from the general public. there has to be more proactive measures to tackle the problem but not to rely on information from the public because we all know of our regular cold’s and our forms of treatment which is APC, PANADOL AND THE LIKES so what do they mean by we shd give them information.
pls ask him for me do we take evry cold symtoms to noguchi or the local health post which has no laboratory to even test for malaria.
Kojo,
Swine Flu in Ghana? This is catastrophic!!!
Governement should sit up and stop giving excuses for every action of theirs.
Who cares about excuses?
kojo, What is swine flu and how does it affect humans? If the the health service is talking about having it under control and treating those diagnosed, do they mean to say they are curing it or what? Does it really have a cure or its just that they have medicines to keep it under control? Is that severe that it can cause death in a matter of short period?
KOJO am ok wit control but i think more should be done on the AWARENESS cus not much is been done.
when i first heard the flu was in Ghana,i was very scared but i’m now ok,cos i trust that the health officials are doing all they can to stop the virus from spreading.
I am not convinced about the the claims Ghana’s health authorities made about the influx of swine flu in the country as they have have not been able to trace and confined all those the first victim came to contact with right from plane to the last person. from sabtiu mohammed, Accra
the issue is here is really very simple. the health authorities are only throwing dust in our eyes.. only to make us have the mind set that they are capable of handling the issue. but believe you me, they have nothing to offer!!
if they do as they are saying.. what kind of education and public of that matter are they carrying out to ensure that , the general public come of age with the issue!
what precautions are they taking to ensure that any one who has any signs or symptoms will quickly report to any health facility!
and in any case is the treatment free???????
they should take action and stop propounding theories!
Speaking form the perspective of a health professional, Ghana needs to be congratulated for its achievements in the area of disease control and surveillance activities as well as health promotion. Ghana is very much up to date with the actions needed at each phase of the Pandemic flu and that lead to the detection and hospitalization of the first two cases in the country.
Currently all districts health directorate and facilities are carrying out daily education and awareness on the disease and also stepping up surveillance for more cases.
The public should be assured that we are doing much to ensure their safety and we also need their support in controlling the pandemic through; HAND CARE, RESPIRATORY ETIQUETTE AND HEALTH CARE SEEKING ON TIME.
kojo this government,well we dont trust them ,how safe are we percentage wise,please we need to know,ashongman ACCRA
THE ROAD ACCIDENTS ARE TOO MUCH ON OUR ROADS TO BOOST LOCAL TOURISM. PEOPLE FEAR TO TRAVEL ON OUR DANGEROUS ROADS TO TOURISM SITES. . REDUCED THE ACCIDENTS ON OUR ROADS OR PUT SERIOUS MEASURES LIKE SPEED CAMERAS ETC ETC IN PLACE TO CHECK ACCIDENTS ON OUR ROADS AND YOU WILLSEE ENOUGH GHANAIANS TRAVELLING TO ‘TOURIST DESTINATIONS IN OUR COINTRY’
