Monkeypox Cases Rise To 18 – GHS

The number of positive cases of monkeypox has grown to 18, according to the Ghana Health Service (GHS).

The Director of GHS, Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, stated out of 72 suspected cases that were sampled as of June 14, 2022, 18 have been confirmed positive during a Covid-19 briefing on Wednesday in Accra.

“The last case to have ever found was a week ago, so that is where we are as far as monkeypox is concerned,” he said.
He added that “Let’s not make it appear as if monkeypox had just appeared in Ghana. We can’t have a disease that spreads to the countries to your left and right, and then the virus jumps over you. But now that we are actively searching, we are finding them, which is good because it means we can stop the spread.”

Ages of affected individuals, in his account, range from 9 months to 41 years. However, the infection has not yet been linked to any fatalities.

He claimed that Greater Accra, Ashanti, Bono, and the Eastern Regions were home to the majority of the cases.
