At least 13 doctors have tested positive for coronavirus in Ghana.
The Ashanti regional chairman of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA), Paa Kwesi Baidoo, who disclosed this to the media, blamed the development on the poor distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) to health facilities in the West African country.
He reiterated that the virus affects virtually everybody, with no respect for the rich, poor, educated, or non-educated, including health care professionals; nurses, pharmacists, and administrators.
Dr. Baidoo said although there are other risks of exposure, medical professionals face a challenge of inadequate PPE due to an improper mode of distribution, which he said endangers the lives of health care workers.
As of yesterday (April 28), the Ashanti Region had 69 cases, the second-highest number of people infected in a region by COVID-19 in the country.
