MAD DOG ELIMINATES A FOUR YEAR OLD BOY

In a hospital at the Tarkwa Nsueam in the Western Region, a four year old boy has died after being attacked by a rabies dog, and later diagnosed of human rabies. This tragedy happened close to two months ago when the victim, Bernard Bentum was on his way to buy bread for himself at Simpa in the Tarkwa Nsueam constituency.

The deceased was taken to the Simpa health center after the incidence happened on the 1oth of May  but his condition only got worse by the day. He was further taken to the Apinto Government hospital in June  to undergo further examination and treatment due to injuries he suffered from the incidence.
