GIS to set up health departments at border post May 10, 2021 The Minister for the Interior, Mr Ambrose Dery, has called on the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) to set up a Department of Health, as part of its Border Management Department to empower the service to stop the “importation” of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and other infectious diseases into the country. According to him, setting up such a department with health officers within the Border Management Department would save the country greatly from the current COVID-19 pandemic and other infectious diseases. He said the department would help to prevent the importation of the infectious COVID-19 disease into the country through humans, plants and animals, adding that special training and structures to detect the disease at the borders of the country must be put in place.
