UN Secretary General commends President Mahama for role in Ebola fight

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon has commended President John Dramani Mahama and the people of Ghana for the role played in ending the Ebola virus disease in West Africa. 

In a phone call to President Mahama on Thursday (Jan. 14) following the declaration by the WHO that West Africa is Ebola free, Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon praised President Mahama and the Ghanaian people for accepting to host the UNMEER mission and allowing Accra to be used as a staging post in the fight against Ebola. ‎

He said this gesture of selflessness was critical in facilitating the international response against Ebola and contributing to the end of Ebola in the 3 most affected countries.
