Instant reflections of life in Ghana today
Thursday 8th August 2024

The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has announced the outbreak of clinical malaria, known as Dengue Fever, in some districts of the Eastern Region. According to the GHS, a total of nine cases have been confirmed after samples were sent to the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR).

A statement signed by Dr. Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, Director-General of GHS, explained that these cases did not respond to antimalarial treatment and were therefore managed as acute febrile illnesses.

Dengue is the fastest-spreading mosquito-borne virus in the world and second only to Malaria as a diagnosed cause of fever among travellers returning to Europe. Just another of the burdens Africa has to bear.
