He said none of the 489 male and female prisoners had the disease at the moment, owing to regular visits of a medical team from the Ho Polyclinic, under the leadership of Dr. Mary Ashinyo.
Mr Agbelengor said since that outbreak, Dr. Ashinyo, who is the Medical Superintendent of the Polyclinic, had been visiting the Prisons bi-monthly with her team, to offer medical services free of charge to the inmates and officers, which had resulted in the eradication of the disease.
He said, consequently, the Prisons hardly sent sick inmates to hospitals because the medical team was available on call.
Mr Agbelengor said the Prison also had regular fumigation schedules against bedbugs and expressed gratitude to benevolent institutions, which donated drugs to the Prisons.
