The Ghana Red Cross Society (GRCS), through the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, has presented various health emergency response relief items to the Central Regional Coordinating Council to tackle the cholera resurgence in the region.
The items included 540 cholera vaccines, 3,000 tablets of chlorine, knapsack engine-powered spraying machines, personal protective equipment, Veronica buckets, and handwashing stands.
The items are for onward distribution to health facilities to contain the outbreak, which began in October 2024 and spread to more than 36 districts across five regions-Greater Accra, Central, Western, Eastern, and Ashanti.
The region also benefited from a health volunteers training program by the Ghana Red Cross Society, with 80 out of the 250 trainees coming from the region.
