The World Health Organization is to provide medication for a strange disease that has killed two persons in the Amansie West district of the Ashanti Region. The disease diagnosed as Laffa viral hemorrhagic fever has symptoms similar to malaria but causes victims to bleed to death. It is contagious and passed on to humans from infected rodents like mice. WHO’s intervention follows a meeting with representatives of the Amansie West Assembly. Municipal Health Director Dominic Dobbin told Joy News, the medication, Ribabarin, will be received on Monday. He said meanwhile, “we are educating be people to ensure that there are no mice in their homes, they should be clean, [and] they should cover any food they want to eat.” He said the executive committee of the district met to thoroughly deliberate on the issue and to find adequate ways of eradicating it from the area.
