Deputy Health Minister, Bernard Okoe Boye

The Deputy Minister of Health, Dr. Bernard Okoe-Boye has posited that, the success of the COVID-19 fight in the country is mainly due to Government interventions such as good testing laboratories, as well as effective tracing and treatment.

The Deputy Health Minister stressed that, the key aim of government was to limit the importation of the virus and also, reduce community spread through proactive measures such as effective preventive measures at points of entry into the country, as well as ensuring the observance of preventive protocols within the country.

Dr. Okoe-Boye said this when MODEC Incorporated, a provider of floating solutions in the petroleum industry, donated test kits and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) worth $600,000 in support of four National COVID-19 testing centres.

He noted that, Ghana had been blessed with quite a favourable situation with regards to the fight against the virus in the country adding that, while there were a few active cases of COVID-19 infections in the country, it is the government’s aim is to achieve a situation of zero active cases.

The Deputy Minister then admonished Ghanaians to continue observing the safety protocols put in place to help combat the spread of the virus.

“Some think the virus is gone, but that is not true. The situation could get worse again. We are still at war.”



He further commended health workers within the country for their commitment and courage in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Deputy Minister of Health observed that the dedication and courage of the country’s health workers, with which they dealt with COVID-19 infections as well as suspected cases, allayed the fears of many who thought the country would had it tough after the first case was reported.
