  Countries train their doctors differently and award different degrees. It is high time we started conferring Doctor of Medicine degrees to MBChB students who have performed the necessary research projects as some countries do.
  
  The current practice where newly inducted doctors called house officers with no experience whatsoever are left to experiment with (attend to) serious medical cases while residents, specialists and consultants are away must be put to a stop immediately. There must be at least one specialist present 24 hours in three shift rotations to supervise them. Our health system as it is presently is not the best. The situation in the countryside and rural communities is even worse.
  
  1. Put pressure on the President and your MP (representative) on a daily basis.
  
  2. Watch Ghana TV News everyday
  
  3. Have a stock pile of the tentative drugs (antiviral agents) at home.
  
  4. If you have a relative who is a doctor or a virologist living outside Ghana ask him or her to come back home and help.
  
  5. If possible buy acquire the ebola protective garment (body condom)
  
  6. Wash your hands often with savlon, dettol etc
  
  7. Push for reforms at the School of Medical Sciences KNUST.

  I ask this question because in the same period that 1069 have died of ebola, many more thousands have died of other diseases like Colera, Malaria, etc.
  
  Are those deaths less important or less scary?

  IT IS TRUE EBOLA IS REAL,AND I AM A GHANAIAN LIVING AND WORKING IN SIERRA LEONE.BUT WHAT WORRIES ME IS THE HULABALOO ON IT. AND I ASK IF ONLY 1069 PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN THESE FOUR COUNTRIES WHICH HAS A POPULATION OF ABOUT 200 MILLION, THEN WHAT ABOUT MALARIA.
  THIS SHOWS MALARIA IS KILLING MORE PEOPLE THAN EBOLA IN WEST AFRICA.
  BUT THE TRUTH IS THE RATE OF EBOLA DEATH IS VERY HIGH AND THE TRUTH MUST BE SAID,MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE DYING.AT LEAST TO GET THE CORRECT FIGURES MULTIPLY THIS BY 10.LOOK AT LIBERIA DEATH PEOPLE ARE LEFT IN THE STREETS ABOUT IN MONROVIA, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE COUNTIES. SO 'W.H.O' SHOULD SAY THE TRUTH.HEALTH WORKERS ARE DYING. DIS NA TRUE TALK.
