Pay attention to Cerebrospinal Meningitis in the Upper West Region—Student Journalist to Gov’t

Student Journalist 


A student journalist and a student at the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) is advocating for more resources and attention to be channeled to the Upper West Region of Ghana as a surge in the number of deaths from CSM is becoming alarming. 

Cerebrospinal meningitis (CSM) is wrecking havoc in the Upper West Region of Ghana at the time the whole world is battling a pandemic. 

Total number of deaths for a couple of months now tally at 37, even deadly more than coronavirus. Statistics shows that the total number of recoveries from the novel coronavirus is more encouraging than the deaths. 

May our attention not be shifted from more deadly diseases such as CSM, Malaria, Cholera and other tropical diseases, for the novel coronavirus. 

In as much as Covid-19 is a threat to humanity, resources must also be channeled to fight other deadly diseases in parts of the country.

    This is serious. I wonder why for decades now, we still record deaths of CSM in our dear national. There's a vaccine for csm. I think someone is not doing his/her job.
