Veterinary Officer Says Urgent Funds Needed to Fight Avian Flu 


The  Greater Accra Regional Veterinary Officer, Dr Alice Attah, says urgent funds are needed to fight  the  Avian Influenza, in the country which according to her is still spreading.

She said though Parliament has approved 11 million cedis to fight the disease, including three-point-five  million for compensation, the funds  have since not been received.

All 216 districts in the country are each being given  one thousand Ghana Cedis to create  awareness on the disease.

She said three regions have been affected but Greater Accra Region is the worst hit, with 20 outbreaks.

Volta Region recorded two while Ashanti had one case.
