Ghana: Cholera Outbreak - Oct 2024
Disaster description
The cholera outbreak began on October 4, 2024, when the first case was recorded after an individual exhibiting cholera-like symptoms sought medical care following attendance at a funeral in the Ada East District. The epidemic spread to 36 districts across five regions: Greater Accra, Central, Western, Eastern and Asanti. The limited information poses a challenge to evaluate the scope of the outbreak to the National Society. However, the last data from 31 December report 398 confirmed cases and 4850 suspected cases.
