While more attention has been placed on scientific innovativeness and
breakthroughs in the advanced countries' attempt to contain the spread and
develop vaccines for the Coronavirus Diseases 2019 (COVID-19), little attention
has been paid to the few but significant innovations being achieved in some
African countries. This is understandable because the scientific capacity and
research infrastructure of most African countries are deficient and weak compared
to other regions of the world. Nevertheless, the African country of Ghana,
despite its acute healthcare and scientific infrastructure deficit, is achieving
some innovational and scientific breakthrough in the COVID-19 fight. Ghanaian
scientist was among the first in Africa to successfully sequenced the genome of
the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The country's laboratory leading the fight
has also introduced some innovative testing methods allowing the country to test
a far greater scale per million than the rest of Africa. Besides, drones are
being used to deliver samples to the laboratory centers for testing. Local
scientists and developers have also developed rapid diagnostic test kits,
ventilators, and solar-powered handwashing machines. This paper highlights
Ghana's innovativeness, scientific, and technological breakthroughs achieved so
far in the fight against the pandemic.
