The Health Minister, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, is expected to appear before Parliament today, Tuesday February 18 to brief the house on the public health emergencies in the country.

This follows a request by the Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Efutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.

The First Deputy Speaker, Bernard Ahiafor subsequently summoned Mr Akandoh to brief the House on the outbreak of cholera and cerebrospinal meningitis (CSM) in parts of the country.

The Minority Leader, whose constituency is one of the disease hotspots, is concerned about efforts being implemented to curtail the spread and protect the lives of his constituents.
