When your respiratory system is healthy, you barely give it a thought — but if your breathing is under stress, it is hard to function well during the day or get a restful sleep at night. Our Department of Breathing Diseases provides a compassionate outpatient setting with patient-centered evaluation that includes education, spirometry, and treatment of breathing disorders and conditions.

Proper asthma management involves you or your child seeing your doctor at least every three months. According to published World Health Organisation (WHO) data, 1,704 Ghanaians lost their lives to asthma in 2017. Our team focuses on early asthma diagnosis, comprehensive assessment, effective treatment pathways, patient and family education, and adoption of customized Asthma Action Plans to empower patients in self-management efficacy.

Sleep apnea is a serious condition that occurs when your breathing is interrupted during sleep. People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing several times throughout the night. This may prevent the brain and the entire body from getting enough oxygen to function properly, leaving individuals tired and yawning during the day. Repeated apnea or sleep disruptions can result in poor quality of life and the development of dangerous health conditions.

Left untreated, sleep apnea is life threatening, putting people at risk for stroke and transient ischemic attacks (mini strokes), possible coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, heart failure, irregular heartbeat and heart attack.
