The Korle Bu Teaching Hospital denied rumors Wednesday that there was no Ebola virus case recorded at the infirmary. A police officer visited the hospital coughing, with blood in his stool Tuesday, creating suspicion that he might be carrying the deadly virus. His blood samples were taken for medical tests. Hospital officials were optimistic it was not an Ebola case. The medical staff on duty that day, reports said, fled the Surgery, Medical and Emergency Unit of the hospital upon seeing the patient. But the Public Relations Officer of the infirmary, Mustapha Salifu told Joy News they were confident it could not be the Ebola virus and therefore, the general public should not be alarmed. He said the hospital was fully equipped to handle cases on Ebola. “We have been provided with some protective gears. We apply that as and when it’s necessary.” An American, who visited Ghana from Guinea early July, was suspected of having contracted the disease. But sampled blood tests from the Noguchi proved otherwise. He later died. (quoted from: ghanaweb/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=319482
