KUMACA students died of meningitis – Autopsy report
An autopsy report released by the Ghana Health
Service in the Ashanti region into the death of
four students of the Kumasi Academy Senior High
School (KUMACA) has revealed that they died of
meningitis.

This followed days of speculation that the
students died out of food poisoning, forcing
parents and guardians to withdraw their wards from
the school.

After days of investigation, the report which was
read out by the Ashanti regional minister, Simon
Osei Mensah indicated that a thorough research was
done to arrive at this conclusion.

Addressing the media on Wednesday, the minister
said “there have been several explanations to
account for the sad event but I want to assure you
that an answer has been found to give meaning to
the demise of the students.

Through the collaborative effort of experts from
the Ghana Health Services at the district,
regional and national levels together with an
experience colleague from the Komfo Anokye
teaching hospital and the school of Medical
Sciences, we can propose the cause of these deaths
as meningitis.” More soon
