Medical officials at the 37 Military Hospital say they are in urgent need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), saying the available ones are inadequate.
The hospital has set up a quarantine center where more than 200 suspected coronavirus patients have been held with nine turning positive.
According to head of public health at the facility, Naval Captain Edward Nyarko, the facility will run out of PPE stocks they had for the fight against Ebola in the next three weeks.
The Commanding Officer of the 37 Military Hospital has expressed concern about long delays in returning Covid-19 test results, saying it leaves them anxious most of the times.
Brig General Nii Adjah Obodai says it now takes up to four days to get results from Nogouchi despite previous assurances the results will be ready in six hours.
