    Guinea worm in the Eastern Region? This is a big shame. What happened to the effort at eradicating the disease? Ghana is certainly drawing back the global eradication effort. I don't believe the report, anyway.

    I hope the Authorities are reading this. Ghana have been declared as Guinea Worm free country. The reporter didn't tell us whether he has seen the infected persons himself.

    Guinea worm in Gh? It is not possible. The reporter must check his facts. This has international ramifications. This report can undo the hard work some of us have done in the last 20 years. Please check again and report.

    It's an Akyem problem, let the handle. These are people who don't want us to have peace in the country and if you don't give your neighbor peace how do you get peace yourself ?

    For this is our problem but for our resources it's for all.

    I don't believe the story because guinea worm confirmation is done in US.The sample needs to be forwarded to USA and it doesn't take one day to get the feed back
