U.S. Donates Anthrax Vaccines to Protect Ghanaians and Livestock

 

Savelugu, Northern Region, GHANA – The United States Government, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is donating 100,000 doses of the anthrax vaccine in support of the Government of Ghana and U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) anthrax vaccination campaign. The campaign is expected to cover about one million animals across the five regions of the north.

 

“Anthrax not only threatens human life. When it destroys livestock, it also threatens economic prosperity and food security,” said USAID/Ghana Mission Director Kimberly Rosen during the launch.

 

Before the launch event, Ms. Rosen and partners from FAO to tour the Vaccine Production Unit of the Central Veterinary Laboratory in Pong-Tamale. In support of domestic manufacturing capacity, USAID recently purchased 100,00 anthrax vaccines from the Central Veterinary Lab to donate to the anthrax vaccination campaign.

 

“During our tour of the Central Veterinary Laboratory this morning, it was clear that with some automation and more investment, the lab could produce larger quantities of vaccines to meet the national market and also be exported. More vaccines means healthier animals, safer humans and potential revenue and job creation for the Veterinary Service Department,” she added.

 

Anthrax is a serious, potentially life-threatening infectious disease that is passed from animals to humans. Vaccination campaigns of animals like cattle, sheep, and goats, prevent the disease from occurring in animals, reducing the risk of transmission to humans.

 

In May 2023, Ghana experienced an outbreak of anthrax, affecting six districts in the Upper East Region. A total of 97 animals died from the anthrax outbreak. Thirteen suspected human anthrax cases were detected, including one death. The Government of Ghana and its partners worked quickly to contain the outbreak. To prevent future outbreaks, yearly animal vaccination is recommended.

USAID and Ghana have worked closely together to strengthen veterinary health services for close to two decades. In 2006, the U.S. supported the Accra Veterinary Laboratory to diagnose Avian Influenza, allowing for a faster local response to the disease.

 

In the past year, USAID provided approximately $105 million to Ghana’s health sector for global health security, nutrition and social protection, maternal, newborn, and child health, and more. Effective preventive and response outbreak activities require a close collaboration between multiple sectors and Government agencies, including the Ministry of Food and Agriculture’s Veterinary Services, the Ghana Health Service, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Local Government, and the National Disaster Management Organization.

Congressman calls House to pass 'Antisemitism Awareness Act' outside Columbia University campus

 

Lawler said every college and university president who refuses to take action should immediately "resign in disgrace" or be thrown out.

 

New York Republican Reps. Mike Lawler and Anthony D'Esposito and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman joined actor Michael Rappaport and radio show host Sid Rosenberg for a news conference outside of Columbia University on Monday afternoon to condemn the antisemitic protests on campus.

 

Lawler said every college and university president who refuses to take action should immediately "resign in disgrace" or be thrown out.

 

He added he's never seen a more disgraceful act than what's being seen on college campuses right now.

 

Following the news conference in a post on X, Lawler said the House must pass the Antisemitism Awareness Act and the Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act immediately to "strip universities and colleges of funding if they allow this hatred on campus."

"The reality"

 

"Here’s the reality: hate is taught. It is taught in the schools of Gaza and unfortunately it is being taught here in the United States," Lawler said. "Enough is enough. We have a responsibility to act and ensure our students are safe from the Hamas apologists in our own country.

 

D'Esposito said what's being seen is not just an attack on Jews or an attack on Israel, it's an attack on democracy.

Blinken: No double standard on Israel and human rights

 

Blinken said the Department will have "more to say" about Israel's adherence to the Leahy law in the coming days.

 

The US does not have a double standard with applying international law to Israel, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday afternoon during a news conference addressing the release of the State Department's 2023 Human Rights Practices report.

 

"As this report makes clear, as we're looking at human rights and the condition of human rights around the world, we apply the same standard to everyone," Blinken said. "And that doesn't change whether the country in question is an adversary, a competitor, a friend or an ally."

 

Blinken said the Department will have "more to say" about Israel's adherence to the Leahy law in the coming days.
