The Ministry of Health has said the burning of
medical supplies at the Central Medical Stores
(CMS), on Tuesday, would not immediately
affect health care delivery.
“Though hundreds of thousands worth of
medicines and equipment have been destroyed,
hospital facilities and even regional medical
stores have stock of supplies that could last for
at least three months whiles we find the
solution of restocking,” Mr Tony Goodman,
Public Relations Officer of the Ministry, told
the Ghana News Agency, in an interview.
Mr Goodman, however, described the effect of
the fire outbreak as “devastating”, after a team
from the Ministry visited the warehouse later
yesterday.
“We also have supplies from the World Food
Programme stored in there and this is seriously
going to affect us,” he explained.
The CMS is Ghana’s largest drug supply and
distribution centre. It also has a large quantity
of all the Ebola supplies meant to supply the
sub-region should there be a need for it in any
country.

Mr Goodman stated that the Minister had set
up a committee to investigate the cause of fire
that that started at the early hours of Tuesday.
The management of CMS is also to provide the
stock of items that were lost in the fire
outbreak at Tema.
He said the Ministry was waiting for the report
from the Fire Service to ascertain the cause of
fire even though there were speculations that it
was caused by the security men at the
warehouse when they were burning bushes that
they have cleared from the surroundings.
