The infectious cholera disease that causes severe diarrheoa, leading to thirstiness and even death if untreated, has been kept under control in the Ashanti Region.
Reported cases here, according to health officials, had been few and far from getting anywhere near an epidemic outbreak.
Dr Kwesi Yeboah-Awudzi, Kumasi Metropolitan Director of Health Services, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the disease had been largely contained because of the strong preventive measures put in place.
"Disease control officers have been actively engaged with the campaign of helping the people to do the simple and basic things to avoid catching the infection," he said.
Out of 160 suspected cases seen at the health facilities across the region, 40 were confirmed with two deaths.
