The GRNMA, with the largest cadre of healthcare providers in Ghana, commended the Ministry of Health and its agencies for designating Tema General and Ridge hospitals as possible treatment centres. The GRNMA also called on all nurses and midwives to be on the alert to identify any such case and apply the highest degree of Infection Prevention and Control in handling it.
