Cross-border Rights & Health Safety: Lawyers have filed a case at the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice in Abuja for deportees sent to Ghana under the US “third-country” policy, alleging Ghana then sent people home—or reportedly dumped them in neighbouring Togo—without documents, raising serious concerns about people being returned to places where they face persecution or torture. Floods & Emergency Response: After torrential rains paralyzed parts of Accra and Tema on Monday, Ghana’s fire service and disaster teams responded across Ningo, Miotso, Ridge Hospital, Kasoa, Gomoa Nyanyano and Tema New Town, while authorities warned residents to share locations as roads and neighborhoods flooded. Disease Control Beyond Borders: Prof. Ernest Kenu says outbreaks spread not mainly from weak border checks, but from failures in sanitation, water safety, overcrowding and surveillance—calling for decentralised labs, stronger infection prevention in facilities, and community “sentinels.” Togo Public Health Capacity: Togo’s National Civil Protection Agency trained with North Dakota and SETAF-AF partners ahead of field exercises, including cholera-style incident response scenarios. Drug Safety: NDLEA reports intercepting 558,900 tramadol pills smuggled from Togo via Benin into Lagos, arresting three suspects. Data Protection for Health Data: Togo’s Personal Data Protection Authority trained its first cohort of 32 corporate data protection officers to help organizations comply with the 2019 data law, including in healthcare. WASH After Floods: Zoomlion launched nationwide emergency fumigation and disinfection starting in flood-hit areas of Greater Accra to reduce sanitation hazards and outbreak risk.
