Ghana must actively screen healthy people for hypertension and chronic disease -CDD

Speaking on the Joy FM Super Morning Show on Thursday, September 10, during a discussion on hypertension, Mr Asiedu said a large number of people could be living with hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases without knowing it because the conditions often show no obvious symptoms.

According to Mr Asiedu, this can be particularly dangerous for people who may already have an undiagnosed cardiovascular condition.“Cardiovascular disease generally, because sometimes people even don't know that high cholesterol in itself and the position of cholesterol in the bloodstream can decrease the blood flow to the penile area as well,” he explained.
