The Ministry of Health is taking steps to meet researchers in the traditional and alternative medicine practice to conduct study on wild birds and animals on diseases that kill.

The findings would help develop vaccines to be administered on human beings who are infected with virus from transmissions of these animals.

Deputy Minister of Health, Dr. Alfred Tia Sugri disclosed this to journalist in Accra.

Since Viruses like Ebola and other infections are derived from wild animals and birds, it was important to engage researchers in those fields to develop vaccines from herbs as antidotes to the infection he said.
