2022-10-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Ghana, as of July 2022, has had 168,350 Real-Time Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR)-confirmed cases of CoViD-19 infections and 1,458 deaths. Besides, 2 cases of Marburg virus diseases (MVD) were confirmed in the country within the same month. Both CoViD-19 and MVD require rRT-PCR for diagnosis, however, rRT-PCR facilities are scarce in Ghana – especially, hitherto, the...
