The Gold Coast Influenza Epidemic was an influenza epidemic in Gold Coast (modern day Ghana) in 1918–1919, which killed more than 100,000 people in six months.[1] Globally, 20 million people died from the outbreak in 1918.[2][3] In the local parlance it was called "mfruensa" by the unschooled members of the society.[4]
