The Gomoa East District Health Directorate of the Ghana Health Service (GHS) has refuted media claims that 20 diarrhoea cases have been recorded in a coastal community, allegedly linked to a water crisis following the temporary shutdown of the Ghana Water Company Limited\u2019s headworks at Kwanyako.<\/p>\n

In a statement released, the Directorate said an audit of health records at the Fetteh CHPS Compound found no such cases. <\/p>\n

It further confirmed that neighbouring health facilities also reported no diarrhoea cases during the period under review.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe data currently available to the Directorate does not support any assertion of an outbreak or abnormal increase in diarrhoea conditions across the district,\u201d the statement emphasised.<\/p>\n

While acknowledging challenges with potable water supply in the area, the Directorate clarified that the situation has not escalated into a public health emergency. <\/p>\n

It assured the public that the district\u2019s disease surveillance system remains fully functional, with monitoring teams actively working across all sub-districts.<\/p>\n

The Directorate concluded by noting its continued collaboration with local authorities and partner agencies to maintain sanitation and hygiene standards, confirming that there is currently no epidemiological evidence of a waterborne disease outbreak in Gomoa East.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
