President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has reiterated the Covid-19 management prowess of his government touting it as one of the best in the world.
According to President Akufo-Addo, due to the sterling performance of his government, Ghana emerged from the global pandemic much better than many countries including the advanced economies.
The President touted this achievement on Sunday, May 28, 2023, during his 29th address on the pandemic which seemed to be his last address to the nation on Covid-19.
He touted that Ghana performed better compared to other nations when proper analysis of the rate of infection, hospitalizations, and deaths due to the pandemic is conducted.
Addressing the nation, he noted that “there is no question but that Ghana came out of this global catastrophe much better than many other countries if we consider the rate of infection, hospitalization, and deaths. We must recognize that this happened because we worked at it in a focused and competent manner.
“We refused to be swayed by the populist noises, conspiracy theory peddlers, and false and uninformed analysts, but rather we relied firmly on the science and data-driven information for guidance,” he added.
He, therefore, expressed gratitude to all Ghanaians for their support and commitment throughout the battle against the deadly pandemic. He added that Ghana can join the rest of the world to breathe a sigh of relief.
“In other words, we can now breathe that collective sigh of relief. For, even though we may still have to deal with sporadic, isolated outbreaks, the crisis itself has technically ended. The pandemic trend in Ghana is similar to the general global trend as announced by WHO,” President Akufo-Addo told Ghanaians on Sunday.
