Ghana's government have resorted to pronouncing directives and touting the implementing of a targeted and proactive so-called approach of ‘Tracing,’ ‘Testing,’ and ‘Treatment’ as its main COVID-19 response.
Analysis of actions, directives, and speeches by government and public health officials leading the fight shows that Ghana's response strategy can be categorized into five-part policy programs.
First, limit and stop the importation of new cases; second, prevent community spread; third, isolate, treat and take care of the sick; fourth, ensure self-reliance and expand the domestic capability; last but not least, limit the impact on social and economic life.
Although the cases keep rising, these approaches, in general, has been a success in minimize critical cases and case-fatality rates.
