  Several works in healthcare diseases support systems in recent time are being inspired by a lot of semantic web technology. Specifically, there has been a rise in the number of knowledgebase system that has been developed using ontological engineering. For two decades, Sunyani Municipality records a lump number of diseases with a few such as Typhoid Fever, Malaria, Diarrhoea Diseases, Pneumonia, Anaemia, and so on being prevalent. Healthcare systems in the Municipal do not have a centralised knowledge base for these prevalent diseases, hence the need for a centralised knowledge-based system. This study proposes a knowledge-based system using ontological engineering to assist the formulation of a strong foundation for establishing a meaningful decision-making support system for the proper diagnosis and management of these diseases in the Municipality.
