Out of the recorded 4,586 cases and 64 deaths recorded from the cholera outbreak in the country since September 2010, the Greater Accra Region is leading with 2, 756 cases and 31 deaths.
This had been attributed to the high rate of filth generated in Accra coupled with the perennial flooding and the sale of contaminated food in the city. Mr Joseph Yieleh Chireh, Minister of Health who was addressing the media after an inspection of some health facilities where some patients are on admission in Accra on Tuesday, cited the Upper East, Eastern and the Central regions as the other regions which had been hit by the epidemic.
He asked people who suspected that they were catching the infection to seek early treatment since treatment is free.
