These ppl teether bn the truth and deception. ..there r 3 types of nano silver. .ionic. .protein and colloidal. ..ionic silver has a strong antimicrobial properties..though its efficacy on ebola virus as a host in humans is not scientifically proven. ..countries like Nigeria are taking the risk by using it on patients despite its other dangerous effects. Nano silver toxicity or cohabitation after being administered cld pose severe viral resistance that cld lead to more virulent form of ebola infections. ..we r treading on dangerous grounds by rushing in the face of a disaster by using unproven methods/ treatment s

Countries train their doctors differently and award different degrees. It is high time we started conferring Doctor of Medicine degrees to MBChB students who have performed the necessary research projects as some countries do.

The current practice where newly inducted doctors called house officers with no experience whatsoever are left to experiment with (attend to) serious medical cases while residents, specialists and consultants are away must be put to a stop immediately. There must be at least one specialist present 24 hours in three shift rotations to supervise them. Our health system as it is presently is not the best. The situation in the countryside and rural communities is even worse.

Do not doubt the wisdom in these words.

ZMap works only when applied at early stages of infection, not when the patient has crossed the RED line. This is true with most medications or treatment

It is not enough to rely on "magic bullet" as Zmapp, there is not the required amount of doses of the drug to combat Ebola effective. Only an improvement of hygienic standards in the long term such plagues as Ebola and cholera eradicated - so private bathrooms and toilets for every household and a functioning sewage system will be indispensable. And at the moment can only education about the transmission paths help of the disease, so that no one infects unnecessary.

This is absolutely recklessness and irresponsible decision by gambling the lives of the 25million who voted for him. He became a president because Ghanians voted for him and not ECOWAS SO HIS FIRST RESPONSIBILITY IS TO GHANIANS.
MY REASONS:
1.Ghana as we speak has no isolation centre for treatment, the said tents have not been completed
2.There is no team of doctors,nurses,cleaners etc trained for ebola case management
3.No simulation exercise has yet been conducted to test our level of preparedness.
4. Ghana has no emergency vehicles or flights to repatriate any detected case meaning if even a case is detect at the airport will remain in Ghana.
5.The Public is not as prepared as it should so an outbreak in Accra will be a disaster.
6. Teleconference could solve and avoid this conference
7. The economic implications of a diagnosed case is huge and politics should not be the only factor in going for a meeting
8.Ghana will be isolated and any Ghanaian who travels will suffer the consequence.
9.Ghana should learn from how through this same ECOWAS conference, ebola got into Nigeria
10.What will be the real benefit for more air condition talking of Ebola among weak and clueless regional leaders besides agreement on travel bans which you don't need to travel to get them done.
11. None of the countries are conducting research into vaccine to warrant an urgent meeting to decide its use or not.
conclusion: this is cheap propaganda meeting and an irresponsible way of gambling the lives of Ghanians for a personal ego. As the meet, South Africa took a bold step to ban entry of any traveler from the affected countries, Kenya airlines same will not make trips to affected areas, because both countries are already seeing reduction in tourism as many people out there thing AFRICA IS A COUNTRY.

Yes we mas help our sister countries but the best help is not to contract it into Ghana
