Coronavirus conversations: Ghana

We meet a doctor treating Covid-19 patients in Kumasi

As we continue to bring you stories of medics on the front line of the global pandemic, we meet Dr Kojo Hutton-Mensah who is treating Covid-19 patients in Kumasi. And we speak to Dr James Phillips, who was also at the eye of a political storm in Washington DC. He is the doctor who tweeted that the drive taken by President Trump to meet supporters while being treated for Covid-19 at Walter Reed Medical Center was "insanity".

Meanwhile, we'll hear the latest on the pandemic from 麻豆社 correspondents in countries we don't often get to, with stories from Poland and Turkey.

We'll also speak to a singer-songwriter in Quebec, whose one man band video went viral on social media, with his dog playing a starring role. Damien Robitaille's version of Technotronic's "Pump Up The Jam" - featuring Suki the Akita - has been giving millions of people a smile in difficult times.
