Ghana became the first country to receive the free COVAX vaccines from India
Instead of the plan to have the president and other politicians at the zenith of the political ladder take the first jabs of the coronavirus vaccines in the country, a pharmacist has said that he would rather promote the call for frontline workers to be the first in line.
Richmond Adusa-Poku, CEO of the Garrison Pharmacy, said that with best practices from across the globe to follow in, it is a better decision to have people in the direct line of the fight against the novel coronavirus, be the first ones to take the shots.
COVID-19 Vaccine is our salvation UGMC CEO LISTEN
MAR 5, 2021
Dr Darius Osei, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC), has described the COVID-19 vaccines procured by government for the citizenry as “salvation” for the staff of the Centre and the populace.
He said the Centre faced numerous challenges as a result of having to deal with hundreds of COVID-19 patients and how much staff including ten Medical Doctors contracted the disease and were on admission at the facility.
Another challenge was how patients on admission and those received at the Outpatient Department sometimes outweighed the number of staff available to attend to them.
