Out of 356 cases reported, 29 people have tested positive for cholera, according to the Effutu Municipal Hospital.
The hospital reports that one person has been officially declared dead and that contact tracing has started.
According to the facility, the 29 confirmed cases originated from the same family who lived in a certain Effutu neighborhood.
According to the hospital, contact tracking has started in order to prevent the disease from spreading to other parts of the Municipality.
But according to the hospital’s acting municipal superintendent, one individual has been declared deceased.
Dr. Douglas Amponsah stated that the hospital is keeping an eye on the problems and that those who have been infected have been segregated and are receiving treatment.
We have set up a cholera Isolation centre due to the cholera outbreak. So far, 29 have been confirmed with cholera out of 356 cases.
“Interestingly, the majority of these cases are coming from a particular area within the Winneba locality. We have confirmed two deaths, one in October 2024, and the other one happened 2025. Most of the infected persons are children and we are trying our best to deal with the situation. The children are responding well that is the good news,” Dr.Douglas Amponsah, Acting Medical Superintendent for the Winneba Municipal Hospital said.
