Cholera Outbreak in Ghana



   Covered up by all the news with Ebola outbreak in Africa and the first case in America, the Cholera outbreak in Ghana has hit a record 17,000 cases with 15 deaths, the worst outbreak in 30 years. This is the worst since 1982.

  Outbreaks for cholera have been expected. Heavy rain hit Accra and exposed open markets turned into filth. In July of 2014, the first cases of Cholera were reported in Accra. Currently, all regions of Ghana, except the northern region, have reported cases of Cholera and the Greater Accra Regional Directorate of the Ghana Health Service in August officially declared the outbreak ravaging parts as an epidemic.

5 years ago I had warts, I was treated with some liquid applied to the warts they continued to grow and spread... The next 2 doctors did laser surgery to remove them. 1 year after the surgery, they grew back close to where the 1st ones were' so I was finally told it was hpv. I have had it for very long time, I contract it from my cheated boyfriend and I found out he was also infected and I end up the relationship between us. the warts was so embarrasses because it started spreading all over I have be dealing with this things for very long time the last treatment I take was About 2 years ago I applied natural treatment from Dr onokun herbal cure, a week after applying the treatment all the warts was gone. it's now 2 years and some months I don't have single wart or any symptoms of hpv. wow"" it's great, Dr onokun has finally cured me.
