The Presidential Coordinator of the government’s coronavirus response programme, Dr Anarfi Asamoah-Baah, has said the best way to contain the virus is to intensify global collaboration and cooperation.
“The global response so far has been national; countries closing their borders, hoarding medical supplies, buying vaccines in advance, sometimes even more than what they need.
“What this tells us is that national self-interest and internationalism are two sides of the same coin; being selfless and being selfish are the two sides of the coin,” he said.
Dr Asamoah-Baah, who is a former Deputy Director-General of the World Health Organisation (WHO), said this at the opening session of the 72nd annual New Year School and Conference at the University of Ghana, Legon in Accra yesterday.
