Hypertension and Diabetes Clinic (Maternal & Adult Health Services)

Hypertension and diabetes are among the leading non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Ghana and are major contributors to heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and pregnancy-related complications. In line with Ghana Health Service (GHS) NCD guidelines, our Hypertension and Diabetes Clinic provides comprehensive, continuous, and patient-centred care to support long-term health and quality of life.

  • Individualized treatment plans, including medication management

  • Monitoring for complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves
