The University Teaching Hospital (UTH) has continued to record a reduction in measles cases.
Public Relations Manager Pauline Mbangweta said the UTH recorded only 23 measles cases this week as compared to 42 cases in the previous week.
She attributed the reduction of measles cases at the institution to the Child health week and measles campaign which was conducted by the Ministry of Health in public health centers and some selected schools.
She said this in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka today.
And on other cases received at the institution, Ms. Mbangweta said UTH recorded 110 road traffick accidents.
