THE EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF GHANA IN BRASILIA WISHES TO BRING TO THE ATTENTION OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH THROUGH THE GHANA HEALTH SERVICE HAS IMPLEMENTED THE DIGITIZATION OF COVID-19 TEST RESULTS FOR EASE OF VERIFICATION PRIOR TO TRAVEL AND UPON ARRIVAL IN GHANA. GHANA BECAME THE FIRST COUNTRY WITHIN THE ECOWAS TO DEPLOY A SYSTEM FOR DIGITAL VERIFICATION OF COVID-19 TEST RESULT BASED ON THE AFRICAN UNION TRUSTED TRAVEL AND ECOWAS BIOMARS.
THE NEW TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM POWERED JOINTLY BY THE GHANA HEALTH SERVICE AND PANABIOS CONSORTIUM WHICH COVERS ALL THE AUTHORIZED COVID-19 PCR TESTING LABORATORIES IN GHANA WOULD HELP CURB THE CIRCULATION OF FAKE TEST RESULTS.
IN THAT RESPECT, ONLY TEST RESULTS OR CERTIFICATES BEARING TRUSTED TRAVEL OR BIOMARS CODES WILL BE CONSIDERED VALID FOR TRAVEL OUT OF GHANA. TRAVELERS ARRIVING IN GHANA MAY USE A TOOL MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE UNDP-SUPPORTED GLOBAL HEAVEN PARTNERSHIP (WWW.GLOBALHEAVEN.ORG) FOR COVID-19 PCR TEST RESULTS CERTIFICATE VERIFICATION. TRAVELERS MAY ALSO SIGN UP FOR ACCOUNTS ON TRUSTEDTRAVEL.PANABIOS.ORG WITH SAME CONTACT DETAILS PROVIDED DURING TESTING.
PASSENGERS, WHO DO NOT COMPLY, WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENTER GHANA.
FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE OVERALL INITIATIVE IS AVAILABLE ON
HTTP://WWW.GHANAHEALTHSERVICE.ORG/COVID19,

THANK YOU.
