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.
Mr Ambrose Dery, the Minister of the Interior, says COVID-19 is a real threat to national security and called for effective collaboration among security officials to use innovative ways to combat the pandemic. “The Covid-19 pandemic is a threat to national security and must be dealt with as such,” he said. “Events around the world have clearly shown that no single country or institution has been able to tackle the devastating pandemic alone.” Mr Dery said this during the opening ceremony of Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) three-day Management and Regional Commanders Retreat in the Eastern Regional capital, Koforidua. He said although the Government had built a strong synergy of interagency approach and collaborative effort among the security services, it was important to devise new ways of fighting the pandemic.
