Three months after an inferno that razed the Central Medical Stores, Joy News has learnt that an investigative report by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) has been completed.
The report, is however, yet to be presented to the government. Details of the report have also yet to be made public.
Ghana lost its main drugs and medical supplies depot on January 13.
The Central Medical Stores kept every licensed drug imported into the country including medications to treat West Africa’s deadliest disease in recent times- Ebola.
But fire, raging with vengeance, consumed everything.
It took three days to completely put out the fire. Nothing was salvaged and the monetary loss has been put at ₵263 million.
A national shortage of drugs became all too obvious following the disaster.
A popular view is that the January 13 fire at Tema in the Greater Accra region was a sinister work of some officials in Ghana’s medical supply chain who wanted to prevent exposure after some dubious procurement deals.
This view has been articulated by Head of the National Malaria Control Program, Dr. Constance Bart Plange.
She and nine others are currently on interdiction.
