The Bosomtwe-Atwima-Kwanwoma District Health Management Team (DHMT) has put in place a surveillance programme on measles to ensure that reported cases are promptly managed.
All health institutions in the District have undergone training in the proper diagnosis, management, as well as follow-ups in measles cases.
Dr K.K. Hussein, the District Director of Health Services, who disclosed this to theGNA at Kuntanase said the district recorded 85.2 percent coverage in the December mass measles vaccination campaign last year.
In spite of the success, the district faced some problems.
He said malaria topped the list of diseases reported at the district hospital at Kuntanase with 11,136 cases.
