    Following tests by the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) confirmed two cases of Lassa fever in Accra.

    The first case involved a 40-year-old trader who became ill for about two weeks before passing away at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, according to GHS.

    The second case, a relative of the fatal case, is being admitted right now but is in excellent condition.

    The Ghana Health Service has identified 56 contacts so far, and they are being tracked.

    Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, the director general, stated in a letter that public health emergency management committees have been activated at all levels (national, regional, and district), and that thorough investigations, including an environmental assessment, are ongoing.

    In Benin, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria, lassa fever—a viral hemorrhagic fever—is endemic.

    The Health Service also stated that while contact tracing and management are ongoing, essential medications and logistics, including Personal Protective Equipment, are being mobilized.
