The fear was fuelled by reports that about five patients are being treated for the disease. “There is a lot of talk about the disease called Jakadala, which, according to rumours, has terrible signs. Already, a surveillance team is out to ascertain facts,” Health executive Isca Oluoch said on Monday. Oluoch said the rumours spread after a patient suffering from penile cancer was admitted to the Migori County Referral Hospital. This is not part of the rumours we get that a patient can succumb to Jakadala,” Oluoch said.
