The Health Students Association of Ghana is asking government to immediately deploy graduates from the school of hygiene to assist it fight the cholera epidemic. Over one thousand four hundred of them have been at home since they completed school three years ago. Agitations by the students to have them posted to facilities to work have not yielded any results. Now their association says the cholera epidemic vindicates its position that government must employ the hygiene graduates to improve sanitation. The president of the association, Albert Evedzi said if the graduates who are environmental health personnel, had been engaged and were working, the cholera epidemic could have been prevented entirely or at least brought under control. Mr. Evedzie said the control of the epidemic will be difficult without the involvement of the hygiene graduates. Source: Joy News/Ghana
