The Central Regional Health Directorate has expressed concern over the surge in cholera cases, as inconsistent water supply continues to affect residents.
Officials warn that if authorities do not address the water crisis, residents could face a heightened risk of infection.
In an interview with JoyNews on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, the Deputy Director of Public Health in the Central Region, Dr.
Joojo Cobbinah, stated that the lack of access to potable water is one of the key reasons for the surge in infections in the region. "Cholera thrives in the absence of water; people might not get access to water to wash their hands, flush their water closets, clean their vegetables properly, even the disposal of waste at a point might require water.
