President Akufo Addo on Sunday May 10, 2020 visited the Noguchi Medical Research Centre at the University of Ghana to familiarise himself with the operations of the centre.
Noguchi is the heartbeat of Covid-19 testing centres in the country.
President Akufo-Addo was received by the managers of the medical facility who took him round the operational areas and explained the processes that samples go through before results are declared.
He assured them of adequate support to make their operations more effective.
Ahead of the visit, the president had presided over a three-day cabinet retreat at Peduase where the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economy had been discussed.
He is said to have driven straight from Peduase to Noguchi for the inspection.
President Akufo-Addo later in the evening addressed the nation spelling out further steps to contain the pandemic.

NDC should not just take and deem it easy dealing with an experienced and seasoned politician like our President Nana Akufo-Addo. The President was resolved to mobilize the local experts at his disposal to excel in the fight against the novel corona pandemic. In many of the Presidents' speeches, he had amply demonstrated the can-do spirit of Ghanaians both as patriots and experts and it's being acknowledged remarkably, in the fight against the novel convid-19 in the world, as Ghanaian positive approach. Thus, Ghana had recorded a very low death rate relative to the number of positive cases, massive testing, treatment, and recovery. The predictions of massive deaths in Africa seem to be very inaccurate, then the Ghanian example and its success is a case in point that disproves that. This clearly, shows how our President had provided the requisite solid leadership in the fight against the pandemic. And if at the end of the day it plays-out well for him in the campaign for his reelection so be it, then, it didn't just fall from heaven, he labored hard for it. It is not correct, therefore, for the Opposition leader Mahama to try hard, desperately, to deploy falsehood to counteract the solid competence of the President. It is not justified to try to discredit the President for any political gain. It is really a high time that the NDC realized that, baseless propaganda and polemics do not win you a free and fair democratic election.
