  • Ebola: Togo submits samples to Noguchi for testing - negative

    Officials from Togo have submitted blood samples taken from suspected Ebola patients to the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) in Ghana for testing.

    ...

    To the relief of Ghanaians, Dr. Bonney said the test results on the samples from the country’s eastern neighbor came out negative.

    He said, Noguchi has in recent times become synonymous to the Ebola disease because, it is the first port of call when there is a suspected case.

    It takes approximately six hours for the tests to be concluded on the blood samples. Over 90 samples have been tested from Ghana which have all come out negative.

    "We are in this breathing space before it happens. We do not know how long that breathing space is going to be. But, if we are not all organizing ourselves to get ready and to take action to prepare for a pandemic, then we are squandering an opportunity for our human security"- Dr. David Nabarro
