At Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) has confirmed one death due to monkeypox. Dr. Emmanuel Kofi Dzotsi, the Upper East Regional Director of Health Services, stated in a statement that they are also keeping an eye on a total of 13 people who may have had contact with the victim.

On July 22, 2022, an inquiry into three suspected instances of monkeypox led to the identification of cases, according to him. “This is the region’s first confirmed case. The confirmed case, who had a history of fever and skin rash, was seen on July 22, 2022, at the Upper East Regional Hospital, he revealed.

The regional director added that, regrettably, the person passed away on July 26, 2022. “Samples were collected on July 22, 2022, at the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research in Accra for confirmation. The sample proved positive for the monkeypox disease, according to information we obtained on July 28, 2022, said Dr. Kofi Dzotsi.
