Public told to complete full dosage of malaria drug

Takoradi, Dec. 29, GNA - The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has stressed the need for patients taking malaria drugs to always ensure they complete the dosage required in order to reduce the incidence of the disease.

Dr Atsu Dodor, Deputy Director in charge of Clinical Care, Western Region, attributed some of the persistent suffering of malaria to the failure of patients to complete the dosage.

He was addressing media personnel, pharmacists and other paramedical staff of the Sekondi-Takoradi at a forum organized by the Service.
