Rising Trend of Strokes Among Young People in Ghana
In recent times, Ghana has witnessed a concerning increase in the number of stroke cases among young individuals aged 40 and below. Dr. Efua Commeh, the Programme Manager of Non-Communicable Diseases at the Ghana Health Service, has shed light on this worrisome trend. According to Dr. Commeh, the surge in stroke cases can be attributed to the rising incidence of untreated or poorly managed hypertension among the younger population.
