Everyone with a problem should be able to come up with at least one solution to the problem. No solution as an answer is not acceptable.

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.

Do not doubt the wisdom in these words.

What impact will this action have on Ghanaians reporting back to work from a vacation in Ghana?
Would Ghanaians returning to London after a visit to Ghana be asked to self-quarantine for 21 days before reporting back to work?
Would their co-workers be concerned to go near returnees for fear of contracting Ebola?

Yes, it is now going on in USA where various organizations and companies have asked their employees who intend to go on vacation(specially those from Africa continent) to stay home for one month when they return from Africa. This implies you don't have to go. Will you be pay for staying home for one month after vacation because you spent time in Africa?

Farmers are already experiencing your concerns raised with the chemicals.So now in Ghana ; Kontomere,Snail, Mushrooms etc does no longer germinate in some parts of the Country.
And no efforts is made by the Agricultural Dept'ment to save the situation,if possible.I wonder even if the authorities are aware of that for the fact that,Statistics on Kontomere, Mushroom, etc is lacking. Anyway.

my advice is if you need to go to Ghana,do not tell your colleagues at work cos trust me it's not the White guys who will grass you up..it's your fellow black who will guarantee all eyes are on you before and after!!!.

Now, let Ghana host afcon and see how Ghanaians will be treated outside West Africa. Sad they are treating a Ghanaian like that. Well I understand the parents' concern. They don't want any Ebola at their backyard because it spreads by contact and body fluids.

Nonsense! Typical of you to miss the big picture and make a fuss on little insignificant details.

Considering that unlike Ghana, the US, as unfortunate as it may be, has at least had some cases of Ebola. Do you think that this is how they will treat a teacher coming to the UK from the US?

I am sure that you are one of those characters who will even swear that there is no racism in the UK even though you are scorned and disrespected everyday of your life living there.

Racism and discrimination is just an old practice with new name. A U.S teacher will even travel even if he had Ebola. Africans must arise. No one will liberate Africa except ourselves.

First of all I would like to ask if there are leaders in Africa?sorry to use this word but I will see them as useless as a straw with no apology.Are all west African countries affected by Ebola. So why can't they be on their feet to let the world know that they should stop using the word west Africa. Plz let's the this Europeans and Americans that is some countries in West Africa. Not all west Africa they keep disgracing us and is getting too much. Plz show us some little respect we re not animals but humans like u in the sight of God. We should blame our leaders for their stomach.God will never allow this virus to rain on Ghanaian. If u blv this let's type a big Amen

Because your leaders are useless. Can u imagine that, in the midst of this chaos, your Minister of sports is considering hosting the 2015 AFCON, which Morocco is almost certainly not interested in hosting although they are supposed to be the host country chosen by CAF?
What does that tell u about a country like Ghana and it's leadership? Do u see the expert manner in which a local school in England withdrew the visit of a teacher in Ghana without any fuss from any quarters, regardless of what the state medical authorities said? Well, that is wisdom of protection and foresight for survival.

Imagine what your leaders would do in the face of such concerns from parents of wards in a local school in Ghana? They wouldn't even listen to u. That's how stupid and backward they are.

The teacher's visit is not important to them. This is to tell you they don't need us. We need them more than they need us.

For the unfortunate teacher to avoid being embarrassed on arrival to the school if he/she is given a nod to travel to UK at all I will strongly advise him/her to have a second thought. After all the harm has already been caused; stigmatised and not only parents but also the pupils perception of him/her coming from ebola-infested region will remain unchanged or even strengthened.

Not surprise, because the media have characterized the ebola out break as in the whole of Africa. Many don't even know Africa is a continent with so many countries.

Every country is taking the STRICTEST preventive measure to stop the spread of this deadly disease but i think we're yet to wake to this in Ghana. There are some african countries whose preventive measures are strictest than that of the UK and US government. Its true Ghana is not affected yet but guys are scared! Senegal chased and quarantined a just one guinea national the suspected of carrying the virus but ghana will open our flood gates to them because of football, UTTER FOOLISHNESS! Taking precautions doesn't mean we hate anybody but its a control measure to deal with the virus. There;s a kind of 'silly friendliness' ghana entertains but i think its rather foolishness. Being tough for a reason doesn't mean you hate. LEAVE THE BRITS ALONE! There are some southern african countries that have temporarily cut flights to west africa, not only the affected countries, what about that??? I HOPE THE GUINEANS HAVEN'T BROUGHT THE VIRUS TO GHANA?

That's the problem in the Country.
Toying with the life's of our own people.
Lacks of Common Sense approach to resolve issues,planning, massive corruption by politicians and some gov't institutions etc ,are the pivotal reason why we find ourselves where we are.
Why should the leadership allowed the Guinean national Team and their Supporters into Ghana to play football.It was a decision not well thought through by the leadership.And it exhibit their Gross incompetence to the letters.
I don't believe Ghana has not a Single Ebola Victim.

Concerned parents after all their children would be school. The media says West Africa so sadly we are also in the West hence why. Take heart when everything is settled then you would be given another chance to visit.

If this is the way things are going to happen, they should as well refuse everyone a visa to UK and close down their Embassy in Ghana. Very soon every black (from Africa) in Europe will be stigmatized.

This shows the white man has sense than the blackman,Ghana has not recorded any ebola case but the UK is canelling a meeting with a Ghanaian. Guinea has been hit hard with ebola and our stupid black Ghanaians leaders allowed Guinea fans to come and watch football match in Ghana,the blackrace is the most stupid and useless race in the World.

The decision is entirely unreasonable and plays right into the hands of bigoted racists. The school's decision is wrong and unguarded. Even if there was no Ebola outbreak, there are parents who would have declined to have an African teacher near their kid if they had the choice. This is playing into the hands of endemic racism in the United Kingdom and cannot be possibly justified.
Ghana has not been affected so a person travelling from Ghana to the United Kingdom is no different from someone travelling from a European country such as Sweden. Even a person travelling from Spain or the United Kingdom poses a greater risk to the UK than Ghana. This is pure bigotry.
