The Ashanti Regional Health Directorate Ebola Response Team has

quarantined a suspected Ebola patient at the Kwame Nkrumah University

of Science and Technology (KNUST) Hospital.

The patient, who is not a Ghanaian, is said to have displayed symptoms

of the disease when he was rushed to the Hospital on Tuesday.

When the Ghana News Agency visited the Hospital in Kumasi on

Wednesday, the patient had been quarantined awaiting the results of

the test of his blood samples sent to the Noguchi Memorial Research

Institute.

Dr Yaw Bio, Director in-charge of the Hospital, told the GNA, that the

patient is doing well, and gave the assurance that the Hospital had

taken serious measures to respond swiftly to all suspected Ebola

cases.

He debunked rumours that the Hospital had been closed down as a result

of the suspected Ebola case.
