The World Health Organisation (WHO) has assured Ghanaians that the proposed Ebola vaccine trial will not cause Ebola in the country.

WHO says it views the safety of people as paramount and would, therefore, not overlook any wrongdoing in the development of a vaccine.

 The WHO Country Representative, Dr Magda Robalo, gave the assurance at a public sensitisation forum in Accra last Thursday....

 Recently, following public agitations, the Minister of Health, Mr Alex Segbefia, called for more consultation on the proposed Ebola vaccine trial which was to be undertaken at Hohoe in the Volta Region.

Parliament also condemned moves to undertake the Ebola vaccine trial and summoned the Minister of Health to appear before it to answer questions on the vaccine trial.
