Ghana has now been certified as a Guinea-worm free country.
For many years, the country has been battling to get its name off the list of Guinea-worm infected countries.
The official certificate for this achievement will be presented to the country soon.
The Director of Policy Planning and Evaluation at the Ministry of Health, Dr Afisa Zakaria said Ghana was officially declared a Guinea-worm free country by a WHO team which conducted an evaluation in the country.
Dr Zakaria also announced the construction of treatment centres in Tamale and Kumasi to handle any Ebola case should it be detected in the country.
Dr Afisa Zakaria said the Ministry is poised to sustain the National Health Insurance Scheme by plugging all the loopholes.
She announced that the Ministry is hoping to extend the capitation which started in the Ashanti region to three more regions.
