Some health officials in the country have expressed worries over the surge in communication disorders in children. At the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, almost half of paediatric cases are linked to communication disorders. This was disclosed by the Head of Paediatric and Neo-Development Clinic at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Dr. Yvonne Brew, in a recent interview on Channel One TV. "Communication disorders just formed about 10% of the cases that I was seeing. However, as of June this year, half of all the children I've seen, which is about almost 50% are children with communication disorders and it's very common, especially among boys. 80% of all the children coming with communication disorders are boys," she said.
