The Director General of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, has entreated the public to keep up with hand hygiene and sanitary practices to curtail the spread of cholera in the country. "We need to go back to the sanitary systems that were put in place during the COVID-19 era.
Hand washing, eating of warm food, clean environment and all.
That's the only way we will be able to contain this spread quickly," he advised while updating journalists on the recent outbreak in the Greater Accra region, yesterday.
Following the confirmation of 43 cholera cases and two deaths in the Ada West and Ada East Districts of the Greater Accra Region two weeks ago, another outbreak has hit the Awutu Senya East District of the central region.
