English: Assistance to Ghana for diagnostics of COVID-19
DONATION OF COVID-19 EQUIPMENT The Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) on Thursday, May 14, 2020 handed over a set of COVID-19 testing equipment kits donated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the Ministry of Health in Accra. Dr. Kwaku Aning, the Chairman of the GAEC Board and Governor of Ghana to the IAEA Board of Governors handed over the items to the Ministry on behalf of the Director-General of IAEA H.E Rafael Grossi. In his speech at the ceremony to present the items, Prof. Benjamin J. B. Nyarko, the Director-General of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission, explained that the equipment was procured through the efforts of Mr. Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the IAEA, to support Ghana’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. He disclosed that the equipment has the capacity to perform about 2,300 tests in a day and this he believes would boost the country’s COVID-19 surveillance program. He added that, per the government’s directive the equipment will be given to the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS), Ho in the Volta Region of Ghana. He expressed the country’s gratitude to Mr. Grossi and the IAEA for the support over the years, more especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Receiving the items on behalf of the Ministry, Nana Kobina Agyei Mensah, the Chief Director of the Ministry of Health, thanked the IAEA and GAEC, as well as H.E. Rafael Grossi for their support towards the country’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Prof. John Owusu Gyapong, the Vice Chancellor, University of Health and Allied Sciences, expressed appreciation to the IAEA, GAEC and the MOH for the equipment, saying its present testing equipment was too small and often led to delays in releasing results. He said the new equipment would therefore improve testing outcomes for doctors to make quick decisions. In attendance were: Dr. Kwaku Aning, the Chairman for GAEC and the Governor for IAEA, Prof. B.J.B. Nyarko, the Director General of GAEC, Nana Kwabena Adjei-Mensah, the Chief Director of the Ministry of Health, Hon. Achibald Letsa, the Volta Regional Minister, Prof. John Owusu Gyapong, Vice Chancellor of the University of Health and Allied Sciences, Prof. Shiloh Osae, the Deputy Director-General of GAEC, Hon. Kwame Agbodzah, Member of Parliament for Ho East and many more Directors and staff of the GAEC witnessed the ceremony. Photo Credit: Prof B.J.B Nyarko/GAEC |
