Ghana has raised its Ebola preparedness following concerns that direct flights from Kenya and high passenger volumes could increase the risk of importing the virus.
Through a statement on Wednesday, October 21, the Ghana Ministry of Health warned that frequent air travel between Ghana and Kenya makes surveillance more urgent as Ebola cases continue to emerge in the region.
It warned that since Kenya reported an imported case of Bundibugyo Ebola from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on October 6, 2026, it is raising concerns among regional health authorities, especially for Ghana.
