Abstract:

Background: As a result of increased access to antiretroviral therapy, children with perinatal infections are surviving into adolescence. However, challenges during adolescence may result in poor adherence to treatment. Studies documenting poor adherence in adolescents have revealed that factors such as older adolescents, lack of HIV disclosure, and forgetfulness are some leading causes of non-adherence. Adherence is a key determinant in minimising the emergence of HIV drug resistance. Aim: To determine the adherence rate to antiretroviral therapy among adolescents attending a tertiary hospita

AbstractThe incidence of twin births in Accra and Kumasi, the two major cities in Ghana, was investigated. In Accra, data were collected from the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital while data were collected and analyzed from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi. Both hospitals are the leading teaching hospitals in Ghana. The data consisted mainly of single and twin births recorded in the hospitals over a period of 12 years in Accra (1988–1999) and 15 years in Kumasi (1985–1999). The study revealed an incidence of 33.4 twin births per thousand live births for Accra and 26.6 twin births per thou
