The Minority in Parliament has issued a strong warning about the escalating cholera outbreak in Ghana, urging the incumbent government to take swift and decisive action to prevent the situation from turning into a full-scale epidemic.
With the number of cases and fatalities steadily increasing, the caucus has expressed serious concern that without immediate intervention, the crisis could spiral out of control.
As of December 17, 2024, the Western Region alone had reported 123 cholera cases and 15 deaths, according to the caucus.
Alarmingly, 15 healthcare workers have also contracted the disease while treating patients.
