According to them, the escalating violence in the Region poses a threat to healthcare personnel in Nkwanta South.

The Oti Regional Health Director, Dr. Osei Kuffour said the ongoing conflict in the Region has caused fear and panic among Health personnel.

He added that the attacks in the Region have caused damage to the health Directorate’s vehicles and personnel at Tuobodom.
