Prosper Addo, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Krachi West Municipality of the Oti Region, has called for urgent measures to protect residents against rising cases of typhoid fever in the region.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Addo urged health authorities to roll out mass typhoid vaccinations for the people of Oti, following a new report that revealed the region has recorded some of the highest typhoid cases in the first quarter of 2025.
He said the development was worrying and required swift intervention to safeguard public health. "We cannot sit unconcerned while our people continue to suffer from preventable diseases.
I am calling on the Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service to urgently consider providing typhoid injections for our communities," he stressed.
