The Effutu Municipal Hospital has confirmed that 29 persons have tested positive for cholera out of 356 cases recorded.
One out of the positive cases has died, the health authorities have stated.
The facility says it is currently engaging in contact tracing.
The confirmed cases, according to the hospital, came from the same family located within a particular area in Effutu.
The Acting Municipal Superintendent of the hospital, Dr. Douglas Amponsah, in a media interview, stated that those who have tested positive have been isolated and are being treated.
“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 in 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,” he added.
