Locked up medical supplies are mosquito nets, not TB and HIV drugs – MoH

The Ministry of Health has denied claims that containers locked up at the Tema port contain essential drugs for tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.

According to the Health Ministry's PRO, Isaac Offei Baah, the containers actually hold mosquito nets, not TB or HIV drugs.

He stated that all HIV drugs were cleared in April and there are no essential drugs decaying at the port.

This comes after civil society organisations raised concerns about the containers, warning that the Global Fund may halt funding and donations to Ghana if they are not cleared.
