It seems Ghana just may have recorded her first case of
Ebola. It is reported that on Friday afternoon, a Burkinabe man, who had
general symptoms of Ebola including fever, nose and ear bleeding, was taken to
the Bawku Presbyterian Hospital dead on arrival. The man was brought through the
border from Burkina to Ghana by his relatives, who wanted proper medical care
for him but he died on the way.
Dr Joseph Yaw Manu, confirmed to StarrFMonline.com that the
man had died at the time he was brought in, saying: "What scared me most as a
Medical Doctor is that he was bleeding from his ears and nose–symptoms of
Ebola."
Dr. Manu of the Bawku Presby hospital has since sent blood
samples of the deceased for testing at the Noguchi Memorial Institute for
Medical Research (NMIMR) at the University of Ghana.
