Her father took her to a nearby clinic where a tetanus injection was administered to her.
However, two weeks later, the deceased started behaving strangely, compelling her parents to send her to the Saint Francis Hospital where she was later referred to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital (CCTH) for further treatment.
After some days, the little girl was sent back to the Assin-Foso Hospital where she died on Monday after she was diagnosed of end stage rabies.
