Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has lauded the management of the Ghana Prisons Service for ensuring the safety of prison inmates to prevent any infection among inmates since the outbreak of the Coronavirus disease in Ghana last year. He said since the COVID-19 mass vaccination exercise started on March 2, this year, 2,161 prison officers and 1,136 inmates with underlying health conditions had received jabs of the AstraZenecca vaccines, and pledged government s commitment to respond to their health needs and safety. In that vein, he said, the infirmary of Nsawam Medium Security Prison had been elevated to a district hospital, while plans were advanced to upgrade the Ankaful Maximum Security Prison, Kumasi Central and Koforidua Prisons infirmaries into clinics.
