Ghanaians in their 30s and 50s dying from heart disease without knowing – Cardiothoracic Centre

Dr Entsua-Mensah said stronger prevention, early detection and public knowledge of emergency response could help reduce avoidable deaths from cardiovascular disease.

As part of the World Heart Day activities, the National Cardiothoracic Centre partnered with St John Ambulance to provide emergency response training.

The Director also called for greater public awareness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and basic emergency response, saying ordinary citizens can help save lives when they know how to respond when someone collapses or stops breathing.
