GHS begins fumigation of flood-hit areas as National clean-up enters day two

The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has begun fumigating flood-affected communities across Accra as part of efforts to prevent disease outbreaks, while the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly continues to clear debris left behind by last week's floods.

Meanwhile, the Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr Samuel Kaba Akoriyea, said although no cholera outbreak had been recorded following the floods, authorities could not afford to wait until cases emerged before taking preventive action.

Speaking to JoyNews correspondent Stephen Mensah at the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly, the Municipal Chief Executive, Alfred Gaisie, said the Assembly was working to clear large volumes of flood debris and expected to remove most of the waste by the close of the day or the following day.
